Georgian President Mikheil Kavelashvili has cast his vote in the local elections. In his statement to journalists afterwards, he called voting a civic duty, while also noting that his decision on who to vote for had been ‘easy’.

‘First of all, I expressed my civic responsibility and made my choice. To be honest with the public, making this choice was really easy. On one side, there is peace, development, and stability; on the other, there is chaos, confrontation, and polarisation. I am confident our society will make the right choice’, he said.

Kavelashvili also highlighted the ‘lessons learned’ since Georgia regained its independence, including navigating wars and political confrontations.
