Opposition Protests Against Adjarian Parliament Proposal

Leader of the opposition Republican Party Davit Usupashvili spoke against an initiative to bar members of the Parliament of the Adjaran Autonomous Republic to run in Georgia’s parliamentary by-elections scheduled for October 1.


?This initiative from the ruling [National Movement] party is directed particularly against Giorgi Masalki [a Republican Party activist] who is a member of the Adjarian Parliament and whom we [the Republican Party] plan to nominate in MP by-elections as a candidate for the Batumi majoritarian [single-mandate constituency] seat,? Usupashvili said in an interview with Rustavi 2 television on August 2.


According to this initiative, which Adjarian lawmakers reportedly plan to discuss on August 3, Adjarian parliamentarians will be able to run in the Georgian parliamentary by-elections only after giving up their seats in the Adjara?s legislative body.
