ISFED found out that Kutaisi Deputy Mayor Iuza Ugulava is forcing the heads and employees of the administrative units to engage in the pre-election campaign, including during working hours. Employees are tasked with scheduling election meetings for the ruling party and its candidates and also distributing photos depicting the mobilization of voters via the internal communication chat; otherwise, they are threatened with dismissal.

Iuza Ugulava denied this fact to ISFED observer.
