Ruling Party Nominates Three More Vice-Speakers

The ruling party nominated MP Gigi Tsereteli; MP Pridon Todua and MP Rusudan Kervalishvili for vice-speaker posts on June 23.

MP Tsereteli has already held the post in the previous parliament. Todua is a new parliamentarian, having been elected in the Zugdidi single-mandate constituency. Kervalishvili is also a newcomer, elected in Tbilisi’s Samgori single-mandate constituency.

On June 11 Mikheil Machavariani and Anzor Bolkvadze were elected as vice-speakers.

Three vice-speaker positions are earmarked for the opposition, while one, in accordance with the law, should go to a lawmaker elected in the Abkhaz Autonomy. This will mean one position remaining unoccupied.
