Opposition UNM majoritarian accuses ruling party of attempting to install audio surveillance equipment in election office

The opposition United National Movement majoritarian candidate for Isani constituency Khatia Dekanoidze has accused the ruling Georgian Dream party of attempting to instal audio surveillance equipment in her election headquarters last night.

Khatia Dekanoidze uploaded photo and video footage on her Facebook page, calling on the interior ministry to investigate the incident in a timely manner.

Dekanoidze said some of the members of the party have heard footsteps in her room when the central electricity was off, but when they got there, the stranger(s) had allegedly disappeared from the window.

This, Dekanoidze said, gives a reasonable doubt that all was organised by the State Security Service of Georgia.

Meanwhile, the interior ministry has launched an investigation into the attempt of theft.

Denying any engagement of the ruling party in the affair, Parliament Speaker Archil Talakvadze said this in not their style, but the UNM’s instead.
