Gharibashvili: Saakashvili’s Entry Helped the National Movement with 7-8% Of Votes
Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili says that with the entry of Mikheil Saakashvili in Georgia, 7-8% was added to the National Movement.
According to him, in addition, 7-8% cost "betrayal of Gakharia" and taking 47% against this background is a ‘serious achievement’.
“It turned out that we won not 43%, but 47%, that is, we won convincingly, especially against the background that Gakgaria’s betrayal cost us about 7-8% of votes. Our observations and analysis also helped the United National Movement, adding 7-8 % to them, and in the light of all this, taking 47 percent and a convincing victory in 44 municipalities is a serious achievement,” said Garibashvili.
