Ruling party MP: audio recording reveals UNM plan to cause disorderliness in Zugdidi and Adjara

The leader of the parliamentary majority Archil Talakvadze presented an audio recording of “the closest circle” of former President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili and his wife Sandra Roelofs, now running in the by-elections for Zugdidi mayor, at a special briefing several minutes ago.

The audio recording is allegedly of a conversation between Ninia Tsiskarishvili and Salome Tchelidze, speaking about how to cause disorderliness in Zugdidi and Adjara whether the UNM party wins or lose elections. 

Talakvadze said that members of the UNM headquarters themselves informed the Georgian Dream party about the National Movement's “destructive plan”.

It seems that despite the polarisation of voters, there still are people in the headquarters of the United National Movement, for whom confrontation and destabilisation are unacceptable”, said Talakvadze. 

Talakvadze said that the audio recording has already been handed over to the “relevant authorities” and requested to begin investigation.
