Baya Kvitsiani, who previously held the position of deputy chairwoman of the Education and Science Committee in Parliament, was not included in the 170-member list of Georgian Dream candidates for the parliamentary elections. However, the ruling party included her sister Maka Kvitsiani's husband, businessman Shota Berekashvili, as number 16. According to the summary protocol of the Central Election Commission, Berekashvili was elected to the Parliament of the 11th convocation.
In addition to Kvitsiani's appointment, the Prime Minister issued orders on November 14 and October 17 appointing Anna Mghebrishvili, Giorgi Modebadze, and Tamar Makharashvili as Deputy Ministers of Education, Science, and Youth.
