"European Socialists" met with the candidate for the chairmanship of the Central Election Commission, Giorgi Kalandarishvili

პოლიტიკურიParliamentary Political Group - "European Socialists" met with the candidate for the chairmanship of the Central Election Commission, Giorgi Kalandarishvili and talked about his future visions and planned activities to improve the electoral process.
🔷 According to the chairman of the political group, Fridon Injia, it is unacceptable for the European Socialists to elect a chairman of the Central Election Commission for a term of six to six months if the candidate fails to win the support of at least two-thirds or the majority of the full parliament.
. “The Central Election Commission is one of the most important institutions in the country, which should be independent and impartial. We talked about the future plans of the Central Election Commission. We also talked about a survey conducted by the National Democratic Institute (NDI), which shows that trust in the work of the Central Election Commission is undermined. We consider this as one of the indicators of how the CEC works. "At the same time, we had a question about how correct it is that if a candidate fails to get the support of 90 votes of the members of parliament, the chairman will be elected for only 6 months, when the parliament elects judges with 76 votes for life," said Fridon Injia.
. “After listening to all the candidates, we will decide who we will support. A priori we can only say that it is unacceptable for us to elect a chairman of the Central Election Commission for six or six months. "Practically, the election marathon starts once every three months, and instead of this agency concentrating on serious changes in the election process, we actually get a constant marathon of who will become the chairman," said David Zilfimian.
Giorgi Kalandarishvili, the candidate for the chairmanship of the Central Election Commission, expressed his hope that he will become the chairman elected with multi-party support, because there are all preconditions for that.
. “I have been, am and will be open to any constructive, business-like meetings and relationships, not only with the election of the CEC chairperson, but with any issues that are important to the electoral process and procedures. "During the meeting, there was a constructive criticism of our activities in order to further improve the work of the administration, its development and further transformation," - said Giorgi Kalandarishvili.
