On September 9, Shalva Papuashvili, the Chairman of the Georgian Parliament, condemned attacks on Kakha Kaladze’s election headquarters as foreign-incited interference, while the OSCE ODIHR announced it would not send election observers, and authorities launched an investigation into the vandalism.

Shalva Papuashvili stated that the attacks on Kakha Kaladze’s election headquarters in Tbilisi were an example of external interference aimed at creating a violent pre-election environment. Papuashvili emphasized that, in addition to extremist groups incited by certain foreign diplomats, the process also involved propaganda platforms financed from abroad. He declared: "The attacks by ‘nationalists’ and ‘titushki’ on the election headquarters in Tbilisi are a clear example of external interference in the elections, the purpose of which is to create a violent pre-election environment. In addition to extremist groups incited by some foreign diplomats, this process includes foreign-funded propaganda platforms, including the Brussels-funded Netgazeti, which not only provides propaganda for violence, but also organizes violent attacks on the Georgian Dream election headquarters. We have seen biased, partisan, yellow, all kinds of media, but ‘violent media’ is a new phenomenon, a product created by foreign donors, like Radio of a Thousand Hills in Rwanda".

In response to the election situation, Maria Telalian, the Director of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), announced that the organization would not send an election observation mission to Georgia. She stated: "Unfortunately, the decision by the Georgian authorities to invite us at such a late stage prevents meaningful observation and will prevent ODIHR from deploying an election observation mission. Transparent and credible election observation requires thorough preparation and the ability to be present at key stages of the election process in line with our comprehensive methodology". ODIHR further emphasized that as an OSCE participating State, Georgia was committed to holding democratic elections in accordance with international standards, and while the Office would not comment on elections it did not observe, it would continue to monitor developments in the country regarding democratic governance, fundamental rights, and the rule of law.

Later in the evening of September 9, pro-Western radicals gathered once again outside Kakha Kaladze’s campaign headquarters. The protesters shouted insults, threw eggs at the building’s windows, and damaged the election banner of the incumbent Tbilisi Mayor. Supporters of the ruling Georgian Dream were inside the office while police forces controlled the situation. Traffic on Melikishvili Avenue was blocked. The father of one of the previously detained protesters called for daily demonstrations outside Kaladze’s headquarters. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia announced the launch of an investigation under Article 187 ("Damage or destruction of property") concerning the vandalism of Georgian Dream election banners at Kaladze’s headquarters. The article provides for penalties of up to three years of imprisonment.
