Stripping our mandates was never about procedure, it was about clearing the way for politically motivated prosecutions, revoking immunity ahead of fabricated charges, and eliminating a major political threat before the municipal elections, - Giorgi Gakharia writes in a post on the social platform X, where he responds to the cancellation of his party's mandates.
"Today, Georgian Dream, acting as a one-party regime, voted unanimously to revoke all 12 mandates held by the For Georgia party.
Political boycott is a constitutional right, one we exercised responsibly after the fraudulent 2024 elections, refusing to enter a captured legislature but not surrendering our people’s mandate.
Stripping our mandates was never about procedure, it was about clearing the way for politically motivated prosecutions, revoking immunity ahead of fabricated charges, and eliminating a major political threat before the municipal elections.
We’ve seen this before, a page torn from the Kremlin’s playbook: remove immunity, invent criminal charges, and eliminate political alternatives”, Gakharia says.
The deputies of the Gakharia for Georgia party have had their parliamentary mandates terminated today. The mandates of the following were terminated due to unjustified absences from sessions: - Giorgi Gakharia, Teona Akubardia, Ana Buchukuri, Levan Gogichaishvili, Zaza Tavadze, Beka Liluashvili, Natia Mezvrishvili, Berdia Sichinava, Kakha Kemoklidze, Roin Kochorashvili, Dimitri Tskitishvili and Zviad Dzidziguri.
