Party Agordzineba led by Aslan Abashidze, Head of Achara, suited in Supreme Court of Georgia with the same demand. The Supreme Court transferred the suit in the regional court for discussion of it alongside with the suit of Association of Young Lawyers. Tina Khidasheli, chairperson of the Association, declared to journalists that the Tbilisi court avoided legal resolution, because it would contradict resolution of the Government. She noted that they could appeal in Supreme Court, but the suit would be hardly discussed because of shortage of time before the elections. Dimitri Kitoshvili, secretary of CEC, declared that the resolution of CEC was legal, because the repeated elections were appointed in the districts where many offences were fixed at the vote, by international observers inclusive. CEC annulled results of the elections in Kobuleti and Khulo because of many offences fixed by the observers. According to report of monitors, some electors voted without identity cards, many of them escaped the marking procedure and people were intimidated at some polling stations by the persons without right to attend the polling stations. They said in CEC that though the results would not substantially influence the final results, holding of the elections was very important, because rigging of the elections in some districts affected the image of the Parliamentary elections in Georgia of March 28 that were acknowledged by the international observers the unprecedented ones from viewpoints of fairness and democracy.

The Georgian Supreme court had annulled the results of the parliamentary elections on proportional system while all mandates of majority deputies remained valid.

Now that Mumladze had refused the deputy's mandate, new elections of majority deputy will be called in the Zestafoni electoral district.
