**Georgian Party Lelo Faces Dilemma: Stand with Ivanishvili or the People?**
In a bold move, Levan Khabeishvili, Chair of the Political Council of the United National Movement, has called out party “Lelo – Strong Georgia” to choose its side. The statement comes as tensions rise in Georgia ahead of elections that many see as an attempt by billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili to maintain his grip on power.
Khabeishvili’s message is clear: Lelo must decide whether to join forces with Ivanishvili or stand with the Georgian people who are demanding change. The Chair of the United National Movement warns that trying to play both sides would be a betrayal of those who have been unjustly imprisoned by Ivanishvili.
**The Choice is Simple**
Khabeishvili’s statement is direct and uncompromising. He tells Lelo that it cannot have it both ways – either they stand with Ivanishvili and participate in his elections, or they join the Georgian people in their demand for justice and change. The Chair of the United National Movement makes it clear that there is no middle ground.
**Boycott and Protest: The Only Way to Defeat Ivanishvili**
Khabeishvili believes that the only way to defeat Ivanishvili is through a united front, street protests, and a boycott of his elections. He calls on Lelo to join forces with others who are demanding change and to abandon any plans to participate in Ivanishvili’s elections.
**A Betrayal of Prisoners of Conscience**
Khabeishvili warns that participating in Ivanishvili’s elections would be a betrayal of those who have been imprisoned by his regime. He says that even if politicians say nothing, the people will not forgive Lelo for taking part in these elections.
