Levan Kharabadze replaced Mikheil Shakulashvili as State Commissioner. Shakulashvili, appointed as governor in August 2022 by then Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili, left the position shortly after Gharibashvili's resignation at the beginning of March.

The new governor is a lawyer by profession. From 2021 until now, he was the director of the Guria Police Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and from 2019 to 2021, he headed the Samtskhe-Javakheti Police Department. According to the government administration, Levan Kharabadze has many years of experience working in managerial positions.
