**Georgia’s Presidential Election Called Illegitimate**

The party “Gakharia for Georgia” has made a statement saying that the presidential elections scheduled for December 14 are not legitimate. They claim that these elections are being held outside of the country’s constitution and do not follow constitutional principles.

The party “Gakharia for Georgia” has stated that they will not take part in these elections and do not recognize the decisions made by the current, illegitimate parliament and its president.
