**Georgian Dream’s Election Bid Foiled by Absentees**
In a surprising turn of events, the “Georgian Dream” party failed to hold elections for a new chairperson of the Tbilisi City Council due to a lack of quorum. According to reports, only 25 deputies attended the session, leaving the party short of the required number.
**Rescue Ring Stepped In**
In a move that has left many scratching their heads, Mikheil Kakauridze, who represents the “Lelo” party, stepped in to create a quorum. This allowed the vote to proceed, and Zurab Abashidze was ultimately elected as the new chairperson of the Tbilisi City Council.
**A Divided Reaction**
Tata Khvedeliani, a member of the “Gakharia For Georgia” party, expressed her surprise at Kakauridze’s decision on social media. She questioned whether “Lelo” supports Kakauridze’s move and if it represents the party’s stance today. Khvedeliani also called for transparency from the media in reporting this issue.
**The Context**
This development comes amidst ongoing protests in Tbilisi, where 53 people have been imprisoned on political charges and over 400 citizens have reportedly become victims of “Georgian Dream”‘s violent actions. The decision to support a party that has been at the center of these controversies has left many wondering about Kakauridze’s motivations.
**A Question Mark Over Lelo**
The public is now waiting for “Lelo” to issue an official statement regarding Kakauridze’s move. This will likely be closely watched, as it could shed light on the party’s position and its willingness to engage with those who have been critical of its actions in the past.
