Georgian President Giorgi Margvelashvili has evaluated the 28 November presidential elections by saying that the country “should not conduct elections in the manner as they were conducted yesterday.”
Through observing the elections and based on the assessments of observing organizations the democratic level of conducting the elections in the runoff has been drastically decreased. Elections conducted with the same standard should not take place in the future,” Margvelashvili said.
