My candidate for the chairmanship is Nanuka Zhorzholiani - Nanuka, in case of victory, will carry out reforms with the core of the party, both veterans and newcomers, - writes the third president, Mikheil Saakashvili.

As Saakashvili notes, the term of all officials in the United National Movement expires in July. According to Saakashvili, it is necessary to hold the chairman elections in a format "that excludes interference from the regime".

"As for the changes in the United National Movement - they will be fundamental, not cosmetic. The party needs not only to be revived, but also to be brought into a better shape than it was in 2003.

The term of all party officials expires in July. It is necessary to hold the chairman elections in a format that excludes interference from the regime.

My candidate for chairperson is Nanuka Zhorzholiani, she has the experience, energy, and vision to cope with this challenge. At the same time, I propose that everyone who has the desire and vision for reforms enter the election process. Also, everyone will be able to participate in the elections and this should be a competition of visions.

If Nanuka wins, she will carry out reforms with the core of the party, both veterans and newcomers. They have my full trust in all of this.

Unlike the majority of other parties, the UNM is neither a business project nor a party run by one person. It is governed from the bottom up by a large public base, and the position of these supporters is crucial for us.

All this is necessary and urgent, especially given the fact that I, “Khabe”, Irakli Nadiradze and other leaders are in prison.

Our and Georgia’s victory is inevitable!” Mikheil Saakashvili wrote on Facebook.
