The ruling Georgian Dream party on Wednesday nominated candidates for the April 29 midterm elections for the member of the Parliament for the country’s western Poti, Senaki and Khobi constituency, and two mayors in Tsageri and Terjola municipalities.
The seats became vacant following the resignation of Tsageri Mayor Giorgi Nemsadze from the party, and the passing away of Poti, Senaki and Khobi MP Irakli Khakhubia and Terjola Mayor Lasha Gogiashvili, last year.
The party has nominated Giorgi Khakhubia, the son of the deceased lawmaker, to run for the MP seat, while Levan Zalkaliani, the former Deputy Government Representative for Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti region in the country’s west, has been selected as the Tsageri Mayor nominee.
Manuchar Robakidze, the former Deputy Mayor in Terjola municipality in 2021 and acting Mayor since 2022, will run for the mayoral position in the forthcoming race.
