European Georgia, the Georgian opposition party, has presented part of its party list for the October 31 parliamentary elections on September 29, however, without assigning numbers to the candidates.
According to MP Davit Bakradze, Chairperson of the party, the specific order of the parliamentary party list will be decided through the party competition, and the candidates who will be able to garner the most support from the population will make it into the parliament.
“We are not a party where one, two or five persons decide who has to be in the parliament. We are not a party where persons share offices without asking people first. No, we are the party where the opinion of supporters and people decides everything,” – Bakradze noted, adding that, when talking of democracy, each party has to give the first example itself.
For the same reasons, Bakradze said, the party refuses to name its Prime Minister candidate, as sharing seats and offices is not one of their goals.
