en.trend.az – “At present in the absence of any other clear political opposition force, there is a good chance Saakashvili will lead Georgia into Parliamentary democracy,” Ziba Norman, director of British Transatlantic and Caucasus Studies Institute, believes. More than half of the citizens of Georgia – 56 percent – supports the possibility of Mikhail Saakashvili’s election as prime minister after his presidential term. 29 percent negatively answered this question. Georgian experts also consider “highly probable” that after the resignation in 2013, the president of Georgia will take over as a prime minister and retain power in the country, transforming it into a parliamentary republic. This view is supported by expert Ramaz Sakvarelidze, who believes that if the current political environment, where 56 percent of respondents in Georgia agree to see Mikhail Saakashvili as a prime minister, it is likely to replace chairs by the current president of Georgia. According to experts, current Parliament speaker David Bakradze will be nominated for the presidency.
