Zurabishvili Presents “Path to New Elections”
President Salome Zurabishvili presented a five-step plan for new elections, called to resolve the country’s ongoing political crisis.
She first announced the plan speaking at a rally near Parliament on February 25. Zurabishvili said the plan was “without alternative” and a direct response to the demands of Georgian citizens, who have been protesting for three months in a row against the government’s perceived anti-European stance.
The plan, which Salome Zurabishvili published on her Twitter account includes:
- Establishing election conditions;
- Preparing an “army” of election commissions and observers;
- Preventing electoral fraud through international oversight;
- Strengthening coordination among political forces;
- Creating a unified electoral program, the “Georgia Charter,” which will include the release of political prisoners, the repeal Russian-style laws, and restoration of judicial independence.
Zurabishvili has been holding meetings with the four main opposition forces, which passed the 5% threshold in the October 26 parliamentary elections, diplomats, civil society organizations, and media representatives to discuss the country’s political future and determine how future elections should be conducted.
