Georgian President Flouts Election Law, RFE/RL (2010)

The article reports that Georgia's president Mikheil Saakashvili failed to name three candidates for heading the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) of Georgia. Saakashvili has told reporter that in the interest of holding free and fair elections in future, he sees no problem in ignoring the legal deadline by which elections should be held for the new Central Election Commission chairman. An opposition parliamentary deputy described the recently amended procedure for selecting the CEC as "a black hole within our legislation," given that it empowers Saakashvili's United National Movement, which controls 80 percent of the parliament mandates, to approve the majority of the commission's members.
