On September 4, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze warned that leaders of the 'radical opposition' were at risk of attacks, which the 'collective UNM' and its supporters could use to disrupt the electoral environment and the government. 

Kobakhidze also recalled the 'experience of all previous elections,' where 'the collective UNM, without exception, always tries to disrupt the electoral environment,' and emphasized that there was no expectation that the upcoming elections would be any different in this regard. He further portrayed the upcoming elections as a referendum on whether 'the War Party will be able to open a second front in Georgia or whether the country will maintain peace,' claiming that the stakes were high, thus significantly increasing the risks.

Justifying the extraordinary security measures for GD Honorary Chairman Bidzina Ivanishvili, Kobakhidze referenced assassination attempts on Robert Fico of Slovakia and Donald Trump of the United States. He also mentioned an open threat conveyed through one of the European Commissioners, stating that the Georgian State Security Service was investigating an alleged assassination attempt on Ivanishvili. "Taking all this into account, our political team is taking special measures to ensure the safety of the party's honorary chairman, who is the main guarantor of peace in Georgia," Kobakhidze stated, noting that Ivanishvili was addressing his supporters from behind bulletproof glass during the pre-election tour due to these security concerns.

In addition to the GD’s Honorary Chairman, Kobakhidze warned that 'the leaders of the radical opposition are also at risk of attack,' especially those whose targeting could be most effectively used by the 'collective UNM and its protectors' to discredit the electoral process and the government, potentially causing social unrest. He sternly warned that any such attempts would be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
