Saakashvili’s Close Ally Quits President’s Party, Slams Constitutional Changes

Koba Davitashvili, the political secretary of the President Saakashvili’s party National Movement, announced today that he quits the party.
 
“It is inadmissible when we change the constitution for Zurab Zhvania [State Minister], who wants to become a Prime Minister. The constitution can not be adjusted just for one particular person. We should make this statement duly to save parliamentarian system in the country,” Koba Davitashvili said at a news briefing on February 3.
 
Davitashvili also said that he is against the merger of the National Movement with Zurab Zhvania’s United Democrats party which will be officially announced at the founding congress of the new party on February 4.
 
Koba Davitashvili, a lawyer, did not say anything regarding his future plans.
