Chairman Of The Parliamentary Political Group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia Met With The Delegation Of The OSCE Office For Democratic Institutions And Human Rights (ODIHR)

🔹 "The already changed rule of election of the head of the election administration by the supreme legislative body, which provides for the election of the chairman of the CEC with a high quorum, with the consent of 90 deputies, cannot be implemented, and we accept the ineffective practice of electing the chairman of the commission every 6 months, which is not useful, acceptable, and more. Moreover, there is a hindering factor in the work process of the commission. This is the failure and retreat of the ruling party."
🔹 This was stated by the chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia at a meeting with the delegation of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR).
🔹 The purpose of the visit of the OSCE/ODIR delegation to Georgia is to discuss the findings and recommendations presented in the report, to bring the election-related legislation and practice into closer compliance with the commitments made to the OSCE, and to determine the areas of future cooperation and specific steps to be taken.
🔹 According to the chairman of the political group, "According to the new change in the code of conduct, up to 70% of the election process will be conducted by electronic system. Therefore, it is important to have a special control of the election process at the polling stations up to 30%, Tu above 30%, because it is in this part that the greatest danger of election fraud is present. Therefore, it is necessary to have a special approach to this specific situation in order to avoid fraud."
🔹 Fridon Injia believes that the use of administrative resources during the elections remains a big problem, which is manifested in the pressure on the voters.
🔹 "In the existing project, the possibility of using administrative resources has been tightened, but I do not consider this to be enough. There should be such a method of punishment that it is not worth it for a person to falsify", said Fridon Injia.
