This person can’t stop mentioning me and throwing stones. Mr. Gakharia, would not it be better to run for Tbilisi mayor elections and let the public decide who the most important negative hero of June 20 was?! - Nika Melia, the mayoral candidate of several opposition parties in Tbilisi, said in response to the statement of Giorgi Gakharia, the founder of the party For Georgia, who said that "the Georgian Dream has achieved that the most negative hero of June 20 has been nominated as a mayoral candidate."

According to Melia, it seems that he and the coalition opposition are the target for Gakharia.

"Mr. Gakharia is not a target for me. It seems that this coalition opposition and I unity are his target. If he has the courage and ability, he should run for elections in a city with a million and a half people. Let him convince the public that he is right in his assessments and I am wrong. However, I think Mr. Gakharia prefers to make statements like this. I doubt he will run for elections," Melia said.
