Mamuka Mdinaradze Appointed Majority Leader in the Parliament of Georgia
Mamuka Mdinaradze, the chairman of Georgian Dream, assumed the role of majority leader. Mdinaradze informed reporters about this decision following the majority meeting.
Additionally, Mdinaradze stated that Georgian Dream supported the candidacy of Rati Ionatamishvili as the faction chairman.
The majority will present the candidacy of Nino Tsilosani, Chairman of the Agrarian Committee, for the position of Vice-Speaker of the Parliament.
"Inside the Parliament, we made several personnel decisions. The first change was the election of a majority leader, for which I received support as expected. Additionally, we addressed the vacancy for the position of vice-speaker after Irakli Chikovani became the Minister of Defense. For this vacancy, the majority will submit the candidacy of Nino Tsilosani to the Parliament.
Furthermore, the Georgian Dream faction unanimously supported Rati Ionatamishvili's candidacy as faction chairman.
Giorgi Tsagareishvili was elected as the first deputy chairman of the faction. After Nino Tsilosani is elected by the parliament as the vice-speaker, her seat, the chairmanship of the agrarian committee, will become vacant. At that point, we will nominate her first deputy, Gela Samkharauli, to assume the role. Additionally, we will present Dachi Beraia as the candidate for the position of the first deputy chairman of the agrarian committee," Mdinaradze said.
