“What we are doing today does not mean that we are giving up on representing the people, the voters, we are giving up on the mandate to achieve change. No, on the contrary. What we are doing today is leading to the complete delegitimization of this so-called parliament, to the so-called government of the Georgian Dream remaining alone in this building and to new mandates. Yes, this act of ours will achieve this goal,” said one of the leaders of the coalition, Nika Melia.
Earlier, the Coalition for Changes applied to the CEC and withdrew the party list, which means that if the parliament terminates the mandate of 19 coalition deputies, their replacements will not be able to take their places.
“As soon as the results of the rigged elections were announced, we said that we would withdraw the list and refuse the mandates. We kept our promise. We will not have any formal or legal connection with this self-proclaimed illegitimate parliament. This is very important for the policy of non-recognition, both inside and outside the country. What the Georgian Dream MPs are up to, you cannot imagine,” said Nana Malashkhia, who was the first on the coalition’s party list.
At least 76 members of the Georgian Dream must support the issue of early termination of the mandate of a member of parliament.
As per the final data of the Central Election Commission, as a result of the October 26, 2024 elections, the Georgian Dream party won 89 seats (53.93%), the Coalition for Change party won 19 seats (11.03%), the Unity - National Movement party won 16 seats (10.17%), the Strong Georgia party won 14 seats (8.81%), and the Gakharia for Georgia party won 12 seats (7.78%). These results are recognized only by the Georgian Dream party, which met at the first session of the 11th convocation of the Parliament on November 25 and, in violation of the Constitution, recognized the authority of all 150 deputies.
