Violation of election campaigning rules

On June 16, 2016, the United National Movement was planning to present its majoritarian candidates in the city of Rustavi. The presentation coincided with a heavy rain. The leaders of the UNM called on the supporters who had arrived for the presentation to find shelter from the rain in the nearby Public Service Hall and the building of the Administration of the State Trustee/Governor of Kvemo Kartli. Despite the fact that it is prohibited to campaign in the institutions of the executive government, after the UMN supporters had entered the said buildings, Davit Bakradze, a leader of the UMN, addressed those assembled with political statements. After the address, the leaders asked those assembled to disperse and offered to hold the presentation of majoritarian candidates at a later date.
