The “Gakharia for Georgia” party is considering the possibility of relinquishing its parliamentary mandates

The chairman of the "For Georgia" parliamentary faction, Shalva Kereselidze, stated that the party will relinquish its parliamentary mandates in the event that the Constitutional Court bans its political activities. According to Kereselidze's explanation, the party's 12 mandates are proportional and belong directly to the party, therefore, in the event of its banning, the mandates will lose their power and value. 1TV+5

Kereselidze noted that the party has not committed any misconduct or anti-state actions and that their inclusion in the lawsuit is artificial, which, according to him, is a "personal vendetta." He also stated that they were unable to receive answers to their questions during court hearings regarding what they are being accused of. 1TV+1

The plaintiff side declares that the goal of the mentioned parties is to overthrow or change the constitutional order through violence. According to imedinews-fb, the party is threatening to relinquish its mandates in the event that the court satisfies the ruling team's lawsuit. 1TV+2
