• Ana Tsitlidze, the chairperson of the United National Movement's Zugdidi organization, stated that opposition-minded citizens in Zugdidi, or those suspected of not voting for the "Georgian Dream" in the elections, are having their identity cards confiscated. Tsitlidze also named six individuals involved in the confiscation of identities, including police officers, a member of the Zugdidi City Council, a representative of the mayor in the administrative unit of the village of October, as well as the father of David Kodua, a candidate for the MP from Samegrelo.

The confiscation of an identity card from a voter and hindering their participation in elections is a criminal offense, and the potential organized nature and scale of these actions is particularly alarming. It is essential to conduct a prompt, thorough, and impartial investigation into the circumstances mentioned in the statement.
