Kaladze reveals election slogan: "Peace throughout Georgia, more prosperity for Tbilisi"
Georgian Dream Party Announces Kakha Kaladze as Tbilisi Mayor Candidate
Kakha Kaladze, the incumbent Tbilisi Mayor, has been officially nominated as the Georgian Dream-Democratic Georgia party's candidate for the upcoming local elections. The announcement was made during a high-profile event held at Mtatsminda Park. Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze was present at the event, introducing Kaladze to the public.
Kaladze's campaign slogan for this election is "Peace to Georgia, more goodness to Tbilisi." This slogan reflects his belief that a city comes to life through the joy of its people and meaningful interaction between residents and their urban environment.
During his tenure and re-election effort in 2021, Kaladze's platform focused primarily on modernizing Tbilisi's public transportation system, notably the metro. He initially planned to purchase new metro cars from a Russian manufacturer but later switched to Chinese suppliers due to geopolitical issues and sanctions affecting the deal.
Kaladze's campaign promises to continue the work started eight years ago to make Tbilisi a lively city. He declared that the city and its districts are more vibrant and full of life than they were eight years ago. He believes that people gathering in public spaces, cultural venues, and sports spaces is a sign of Tbilisi's increased liveliness.
Eight years ago, Kaladze's mayoral campaign slogan was "A City Full of Life." He recalled that at that time, Tbilisi lacked the energy he had witnessed in many European cities. Peace and wellbeing are at the forefront of his current campaign, with his new slogan reflecting this focus.
Kaladze believes that a city's vibrancy is not just about infrastructure but also about the joy and interactions of its people. He aims to continue fostering this atmosphere in Tbilisi as he seeks re-election. The Georgian Dream party is confident that under Kaladze's leadership, Tbilisi will continue to thrive and grow.
Migrating citizens may be drawn to Tbilisi's improved urban environment, as Kaladze aims to preserve and enhance the city's vibrancy during his re-election campaign. The political landscape in Georgia, particularly in war-and-conflicts and policy-and-legislation, may impact the success of Kaladze's plans, as issues related to general news and politics often have far-reaching consequences for cities like Tbilisi.
