Candidate Gamkrelidze Speaks of Patarkatsishvili’s Mistake

Davit Gamkrelidze, a presidential candidate and leader of the New Rights Party, said business tycoon Badri Patarkatsishvili had made a mistake in becoming so actively engaged in politics.


“It was a mistake for Patarkatsishvili to get involved in politics so actively, because he is the owner of Imedi television station and journalists have felt uncomfortable because of it. I think it would have been better for him if he had distanced himself from politics,” Gamkrelidze said in remarks aired by Rustavi 2 TV.


Gamkrelidze’s remarks, given the New Rights’ unsuccessful attempt to persuade Patarkatsishvili to run on the party’s ticket in last year’s election for the Tbilisi mayor’s office, come somewhat as a surprise.
