U.S. ambassador to Georgia, Richard Norland, said on October 1 that political leaders promised to respect the results of a credible process.
“The campaigning is over and the results of the election are now in the hands of Georgia’s voters. This is a genuinely competitive occasion. Despite numerous claims and predictions, no one knows in advance what the outcome of today’s voting will be. Each and every Georgian voting today will help decide the outcome,” he said.
He noted that they all, along with Georgian people, expect fair elections. He urged people to calm, have faith, and be patient while all the results are.
“Georgians should be proud of this day. The international community will continue to do its part in supporting Georgian democracy and the Georgian people,” he added.
