Georgian MP predicts "stupid" moves from Zourabichvili in final days of presidency
Mamuka Mdinaradze, leader of the Parliamentary Majority in Georgia, has predicted that President Salome Zourabichvili will make more "stupid" decisions in the final days of her presidency than throughout her entire time in office.
Mdinaradze revealed that he had received information suggesting Zourabichvili plans to continue making public appeals and engaging in controversial actions, Caliber.Az reports citing Georgian media.
He expressed concerns that, as the inauguration of the new president approaches, Zourabichvili is likely to make even more questionable decisions and statements.
Georgia’s sixth President will be elected on December 14, as decided on November 26 at the Parliament’s plenary session, with the exclusive participation of the Georgian Dream MPs, with 80 votes in favor and none against. The inauguration of the new President will take place on December 29. The new President will be elected for a term of five years.
On November 25 the Georgian Dream party convened the first session of the Parliament despite the protests outside the Parliament building, mounting evidence of systemic election fraud and the two complaints, including the President’s, to the Constitutional Court challenging the legality of the elections.
Incumbent Salome Zurabishvili is the last President elected by popular vote. Her term ends on December 16. The country’s sixth President is to be elected by a 300-member electoral college.
