New Rights Refuse to Join Opposition Rallies
The New Rights party does not intend so far to join the protest rallies, planned by the National Movement and Burjanadze-Democrats.
Davit Gamkrelidze, the leader of New Rights, said at a news briefing today that the New Rights will protect their votes at the district election commissions and not in the streets.
“We recognize the victory of the National Movement in the elections. We also know that the Burjanadze-Democrats election bloc is also preceding us. We know, that we also have cleared the 7% barrier,” leader of the New Rights Davit Gamkrelidze said at a news briefing on November 4.
He said the party would manage to gain at least 25-30 seats in the new Parliament.
Earlier today the Burjanadze-Democrats election bloc, the Unity party and representatives of the civil society joined the National Movement’s initiative to stage a protest rallies in case the authorities do not stop manipulation of the election results.
The Burjanadze-Democrats have already launched the meeting in the Philharmonic Hall in the center of Tbilisi. The supporters of the National Movement are gathering in front of the Tbilisi Municipality.
