• On August 18, with the support of the Tetritskharo municipal government and a non-commercial organization, Culture and Sports Center, a public event, Manglisoba 2024 [1] was held. An incumbent mayor of Bolnisi, who at the same time has been nominated a Georgian Dream candidate, and a delegate from Tetritskharo-Bolnisi-Dmanisi-Tsalka, Mr. David Sherazadishvili, took part in the event.

This fact is problematic because, as per international good practice, there must be a clear line between the State and the ruling party. When a ruling party’s candidate takes part in a budget-funded event, it makes an impression that the event is organized by the ruling party.
