The majority will nominate Nino Tsilosani to the parliament for the position of vice-speaker, which became vacant after Irakli Chikovani transitioned to defense minister.
“After Nino Tsilosani is elected as the vice-speaker of the parliament, the seat of the chairman of the agrarian committee will become vacant, and we will nominate his first deputy, Gela Samkharauli, and Irakli (Dachi) Beraia will be nominated for the position of the first deputy of the agrarian committee,” said Mamuka Mdinaradze.
Georgian Dream party members elected Rati Ionatamishvili as the chairman of the faction, and Giorgi Tsagareishvili as the first deputy chairman of the faction.
On January 29, Irakli Garibashvili resigned from the position of Prime Minister, after which Irakli Kobakhidze, the leader of the parliamentary majority and the chairman of Georgian Dream, became the head of the government. Eleven out of twelve members of the Cabinet of Ministers retained their positions. The Vice-Speaker of the Parliament and the majority deputy of Zugdidi, Irakli Chikovani, replaced Juansher Burchuladze as the Minister of Defense.
According to the proportional electoral list of Georgian Dream, businessman Giorgi Barvenishvili will enter the parliament instead of Irakli Kobakhidze. He was 71st on the election list.
