**Opposition’s Chances in Local Elections: A Comment by Parliament Chairman Shalva Papuashvili**
The Georgian opposition is gearing up for local elections scheduled for October 4. The chairman of the parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, has weighed in on the opposition’s chances, saying that the coalition between two parties, Lelo and Gakharia, won’t bring any good results.
**A Mixed Bag of Politicians**
According to Papuashvili, when you put together a “swindler” like Kakha Kaladadze (also known as Khazaradze) from Lelo and a “liar” like Gakharia, it’s clear that their partnership will lead nowhere.
