PM Ivanishvili said on October 1 that a “convincing” victory is needed in the upcoming presidential elections in order to overcome many challenges the country is facing.

“A lot of work lies ahead of us and there is a lot to be rebuilt and we have to win convincingly in order to not leave any doubt and not to cause question marks,” he told activists from Georgian Dream coalition’s youth movement, who gathered outside GD headquarters in Tbilisi to mark anniversary of coalition’s victory in October 1, 2012 parliamentary elections.

“We will create a precedent of holding European elections in Georgia… and we should win a convincing victory,” he added.

GD’s presidential candidate, Giorgi Margvelashvili, who was also present at the rally, said: “This victory should be very convincing in order to make our momentum further convincing.”
