The Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili asserted that, despite European politicians previously stating that the findings of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) would be "decisive" in their assessments of Georgia’s October parliamentary elections, these conclusions were largely disregarded following the elections.

In an interview with the Rustavi 2 TV channel, Papuashvili emphasized that the Georgian government would consider the recommendations in the OSCE/ODIHR report for the upcoming local elections scheduled for autumn. He argued that the "hysteria" surrounding the election irregularities should subside, pointing to the OSCE/ODIHR report as a source of clarity, which dismissed the five main allegations of election misconduct by the opposition as "false."

Papuashvili further noted that the report included 28 recommendations, compared to 30 in the 2020 election report, and highlighted a significant aspect of the current findings. For the first time, the OSCE/ODIHR criticized the Georgian President, accusing her of violating the law by forming a government and engaging in actions that exceeded her constitutional authority. According to Papuashvili, the report marked the first instance where the OSCE/ODIHR held the President accountable for overstepping constitutional boundaries in the creation of an election headquarters that opposed the ruling party.

The Speaker also contended that "political corruption entrenched in the European Parliament" represented a "separate issue," describing the European Parliament's resolutions on Georgia as "unjust."
