According to Iago Khvichia, Zurab Japaridze, chairman of Girchi, made a "fatal mistake.

As Iago Khvichia told journalists, he refrains from publicly criticizing Zurab Japaridze.

"I do not want to publicly criticize Zurab Japaridze. I think he is wrong. In my opinion, he made a fatal mistake with all this. But let’s see, the process will show. 4 years ago, Girchi was a group of people failing to enter the parliament, who had no money. This union, in fact a union of three people, or four people, managed to get 3% with virtually no money or expenses in this election. If Zurab Japaridze considers it a failure, I think it is wrong. If he considers this is only his merit, it is wrong," Iago Khvichia said.

Zurab Japaridze, leader of Girchi, has distanced himself from three party members. As he stated, he will not continue his party activities with Sandro Rakviashvili, Vakhtang Megrelishvili and Iago Khvichia. Japaridze posted the relevant statement on the social network a few days ago.
