“It is an honor to
have been re-elected as President of the Republic of Abkhazia, and I
thank the people of this country for their confidence.
This
election is truly historic. It is the first Abkhazia has had since its
recognition as an independent country, solidifying our sovereignty.
Five candidates competed, making the election debate vigorous and
providing the voters with broad choices. Most importantly, the people
of Abkhazia were active—100,740 or 73 percent of those eligible cast
their ballots at polling places around the country.
The
election was transparent, fair, and orderly with 82 observers from 21
countries and several local NGOs monitoring the voting. News media
outlets from around the world covered our election with free access to
all candidates and the people of Abkhazia.
In essence, these
elections have firmly established Abkhazia as a democratic, rule-of-law
state where citizens can peacefully elect their leaders and help decide
their own futures. I’m extremely proud to have served as their
President for the past five years and look forward to the progress we
will make together in the next five years, bringing Abkhazia to its
rightful place in the international community and building a quality of
life in this country that will assure our independence, our success,
and our prosperity for generations to come.”
