There are 5 days left before expiration of the deadline for the nomination of the presidential candidate. The ruling team is not in a hurry to announce the decision outloud and is waiting for September 8th, to announce who will be the candidate supported by the "Georgian Dream"; however, it is obvious even now because the majority of the factions started openly making statements in support of Salome Zourabichvili. Social Democrats and Conservatives are likely to express the mood prevailing in the ruling party, but the "Georgian Dream" refrains from nominating their favourite till the last minute. The ruling team does not conceal the difference in the opinion regarding the presidential candidate.

Archil Talakvadze says that "Georgian Dream" will not have its own candidate, but who the party will support will be decided at the political council.
Gia Volski denies the controversy regarding the candidate. The MP says that under conditions where "Georgian Dream" has hold of all controls, it will be more democratic to support an independent candidate in the presidential election.

The Deputy Chairperson of the Health Committee speaks about the possibility of a second tour. According to Levan Koberidze, according to this data is likely to have the second tour.
