Time.news Editor: Thank you for joining us ⁢today, Dr.​ Mzarelua. The recent partial recount​ of the‌ legislative elections in ⁣Georgia confirmed the victory‍ of the Georgian Dream party with 53.9% of ‌the votes. What does⁣ this mean for the political landscape in Georgia?

Dr.‍ Ketevan Mzarelua: Thank you for having me. The⁤ confirmation of Georgian Dream’s victory solidifies their position in power and may allow them to push forward with their existing policies.

The electorate seems⁤ to have responded favorably⁤ to their previous administration and​ its policies.

Time.news Editor: Interesting points! With the elections now ⁣confirmed, what implications⁣ do you ⁣foresee for future legislative actions and reforms?

Dr. Ketevan Mzarelua: Well, with their majority, Georgian Dream can implement reforms more aggressively. This may include economic initiatives aimed‌ at bolstering stability⁤ in the region and addressing social issues that have been contentious in previous governments. However, it’s important to watch ‌for opposition ⁤responses, as they may​ challenge any controversial reforms aimed ‍at​ consolidating ⁣power further.

Time.news Editor: What are your insights ‌on the role of the Central Election Commission ​in this ⁣recount process?

Dr.⁣ Ketevan Mzarelua: The‍ Central Election Commission’s role‍ was crucial in ​maintaining the integrity ⁤of the election process. By conducting⁤ the recount, they ‍provided transparency and reassured the public of the electoral process’s legitimacy. This is essential in building trust in democratic ​institutions, ‌which enhances the longevity of political ‍stability.
