Chairman of Georgian Parliamentary Committee on Legal Affairs announced that Georgian Dream Coalition may put forward several candidates in the presidential elections in Georgia.
“Perhaps, the Coalition will nominate one candidate. However, there is no exclusion from one part of the coalition nominating its own candidate and the other its own. It will be a political decision,” said Khmaladze, adding “The majority of the coalition supports a parliamentary republic and in such a form of governance, the President’s functions are completely different so the selection of candidates is crucial.”
To the question whether he agrees if Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili offers him the presidential candidacy, Khmaladze responded that what he is doing now is necessary and important.
Georgian Defense Minister Irakli Alasania also does not rule out that he will be nominated by the Georgian Dream Coalition as a presidential candidate.
