Davit Tarkhan-Mouravi, one of the leaders of Alliance of Patriots, also relinquished his mandate to businessman Zaza Okruashvili, founder of Omega Group and owner of Iberia TV. His wife, Nato Chkheidze will also take a seat in the new Georgian Parliament through the party list of Alliance of Patriots.

Nino Burjanadze’s Democratic Movement will also have one member in Adjara’s legislative body.

An inaugural session of the Supreme Council of Adjara should be convened by President Giorgi Margvelashvili. According to the President’s office, it will be held within the timeframes set by law.

According to the constitution of Adjara Autonomous Republic, an inaugural session of the newly elected Supreme Council should be held no later than a month after the end of elections.
