11 Members of Gakharia’s Party Take MP Seats in Disputed Parliament
Eleven members of former Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia’s opposition For Georgia party took their seats in Georgia’s disputed Parliament on October 28.
This move ends a yearlong boycott of the legislature, which is dominated by ruling Georgian Dream MPs and rejected by other opposition groups after the contested October 2020 general elections.
“fight for the survival of free thought” and to “bring another truth in this country to light”
Party member Giorgi Sharashidze announced the decision to end the parliamentary boycott on October 20.
- The Georgian Dream MPs approved mandates for twelve new For Georgia MPs in September.
- This was two months after the mandates of the party’s original twelve candidates were terminated due to their prolonged absences amid the opposition’s boycott.
Other opposition groups had earlier renounced their mandates.
