Chairman of eastern Georgian Rustavi city council Levan Oniani has been dismissed from his post by secret ballot vote earlier today following his exit from the ruling Georgian Dream party.
16 deputies supported the dismissal of the city council (Sakrebulo) chairman, while two voted against. The opposition United National Movement (UNM) party did not participate in the voting.
Oniani left the ruling party on August 16 and joined the People’s Party, noting that the Georgian Dream ‘betrayed the main values.’

Four opposition parties, the United National Movement (UNM), Droa, Girchi-More Freedom and European Georgia have presented joint majoritarian candidates for Tbilisi City Assembly ahead of the October 2 municipal elections.
The opposition United National Movement (UNM) party members claim the ruling Georgian Dream party is bribing voters ahead of local self-government elections and filed a lawsuit against the party. The opposition leaders noted that they have audio and video footage that proves the crime, noting that in Georgia there is ‘selective justice.’
The European Georgia, Girchi - More Freedom and Movement Droa will nominate joint majoritarian candidates in Georgia’s capital of Tbilisi for the upcoming October 2 local municipal elections on August 15. Droa movement Leader Elene Khoshtaria stated that the municipal elections are ‘special elections, which is essentially a referendum,’ noting that the opposition understands its responsibility before the Georgian population to propose the choice which will ‘give them [Georgian citizens] faith.’
Seven employees of Khashuri City Council have left the ruling Georgian Dream today to join the political party of former Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia.
The ruling Georgian Dream party claims that they will receive 44.7% of votes in the October 2 municipal elections in the western Georgian city of Kutaisi, which will elect a city council and mayor. Municipal elections are slated to be held throughout the country on the day.
