The ruling party’s initiative on the dismissal of Zviad Kvachantiradze, Chairman of the Parliament’s Committee on Diaspora and Caucasus Issues, has failed to gain the MPs’ support.

Kvachantiradze's dismissal was backed only by 67 MPs, while the quorum was 76. 8 MPs voted against.

The replacement of Zviad Kvachantiradze by Beka Odisharia has been initiated by the ruling party. Members of the parliamentary majority made the relevant decision at the Georgian Dream office yesterday.

According to the Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia, Zviad Kvachantiradze's dismissal did not have any political ground.
