The European Union has called on Georgia to quickly and transparently investigate alleged irregularities during yesterday’s parliamentary elections to rebuild confidence in the electoral process.
“We call on the Central Election Commission of Georgia and other relevant bodies to fulfill their duty to quickly, transparently and independently investigate and report on electoral irregularities. These irregularities must be clarified and eliminated. This is a necessary step towards rebuilding trust in the electoral process,” it said in the announcement.
The announcement added that “election observers are reporting uneven conditions, a divisive campaign in a polarized atmosphere, and significant concerns about the impact of recent legislative amendments on this election process.”
