European Georgia opposition introduces Tbilisi party list ahead of municipal race

The opposition European Georgia party has nominated members for its Tbilisi party list earlier today in the run up to the October 2 self-government elections. 

Leader and executive secretary of the party Akaki Bobokhidze introduced 35 people from the party for Tbilisi City Council. 

Our list is conditional as it depends on each precinct and each vote cast. European Georgia has established a standard that the list is elected by the voters and not the leadership of the party,” Bobokhidze said. 

The top ten members of the European Georgia are as follows: 

• Giorgi Noniashvili
• Dato Zhgenti
• Nino Ordenidze 
• Besik Donadze
• Lasha Janjghava
• Tea Kotua
• Giorgi Bakhtadze
• Aleksandre Gurabanidze
• Malorita Edisherashvili
• Temur Gvadzbaia

The society gathered here is not only fighting for the mandate of the City Council, but it is also a fight to save our future, therefore we have a special responsibility,” the leader of European Georgia Giga Bokeria said.
