When asked who would ensure adherence to the Charter's promises, the President stated that she, along with the Georgian people, would play a crucial role in holding parties accountable.

On October 5, President Salome Zourabichvili announced in an interview that she had a candidate in mind for the position of Prime Minister if the creation of a coalition government becomes relevant.
