I want everyone to know - I was, am and will be ready to participate in any type of election, especially in internal party elections and especially when I have a lot to say. Whereever you want, whenever you want, I am ready for these elections, National Movement chairman Nika Melia said at the briefing.

Melia responded to today's statement of fellow party members regarding the demand for intra-party elections and noted that "nothing new was said" at the briefing.

The chairman of the party spoke about the form of the statement of his teammates and said that "the nearest period will definitely show the real reason and purpose of presenting this issue in this form, so hastily".

In addition, according to Melia, there was agreement in the party on the issue of elections, and the subject of discussion was only deadlines and procedural issues, "when and how the elections would be held".

"I would like to inform you of my position regarding the issue of elections in the United Natio­nal Movement. At the briefing held by my colleagues today, nothing new was said, I heard nothing new, except the fact that this statement was made in this form. There was an active, daily discussion within the party on these issues in order to form a consolidated position.

The nearest period will definitely show the real reason and purpose of bringing this issue out in this form, so hastily, especially considering that today the main topic should have been the most important evaluations made by the European Parliament.

Within the framework of these consultations, I openly raised the issue of elections within the party a month and a half ago - I did it on my own initiative and in the presence of those who are demanding elections today.

There was agreement on the issue of elections, the subject of discussion was only when and how the elections would be held. If there's anything I'm comfortable with, it's elections.

Elections where tens of thousands of supporters of the party will participate, where I will have the opportunity to tell the truth to tens of thousands of supporters of the Natio­nal Movement, so that they can make a thoughtful and future-oriented choice for the party and the country.

I want everyone to know - I was, am and will be ready to participate in any type of election, especially in internal party elections and especially when I have a lot to say," said Melia.
