Conduct
The OSCE election observation mission concluded that while "fundamental freedoms were generally respected during the election campaign and candidates were able to express their views [...] further progress is necessary for Georgia to fully meet its commitments as a participating State of the OSCE."[3] The OSCE report also highlighted that only two candidates, Shevardnadze and Patiashvili had "campaigned actively".[3]
