**Coalition for Change Challenges Election Results**
On November 25, leaders of the Coalition for Change announced they are asking the Central Election Commission to remove their party lists from the election results. This move comes after the Coalition gained the most votes in the October 26 parliamentary elections.
According to Zurab Japaridze, one of the Coalition’s leaders, this step is necessary because the opposition should first withdraw their proportional lists and then write a separate letter revoking their parliamentary mandates.
The Coalition for Change includes three parties: Ahali, Girchi – More Freedom, and Droa. They received 11.03% of the votes in the elections.
**No Recognition from International Community**
Another leader of the Coalition, Elene Khoshtaria, said that the current parliament was formed through unconstitutional means and against the will of the people. She stated that neither the international community nor the opposition recognizes these elections as legitimate.
“We do not recognize this Parliament,” Khoshtaria emphasized. “We will not participate in it, and we will not enter the building.”
**Formal Declaration**
Khoshtaria formally declared on behalf of the Coalition for Change that they are revoking their party list, rejecting the election results, and refusing to engage with the current parliament.
“We do not intend to have any relationship with this Parliament,” she said. “And none of us will set foot in this Parliament.”
