  • Opposition political groups in Georgia, including Coalition for Change, Unity - National Movement, Strong Georgia and Gakharia for Georgia, have announced that they do not recognise the legitimacy of the presidential election scheduled for 14 December.

The Georgian opposition has declared that it will not recognize the results of the upcoming presidential election, alleging that the electoral process is neither free nor fair. This statement comes amidst growing tensions and claims of electoral manipulation by the ruling party. Critics argue that the government has been systematically undermining democratic institutions, including the judiciary and media freedom, to favor the incumbent. The opposition has called for international observers to closely monitor the election and has urged the public to protest against what they perceive as an attempt to consolidate power through undemocratic means. This move has escalated political instability in Georgia, raising concerns about the country's democratic backsliding and its implications for regional stability.
