"Tbilisi mayoral candidates are burdened with their parties` sins," - Gia Khukhashvili

"Cleanse Tbilisi from party and clan interests" - this slogan, according to political expert Gia Khukhashvili is the demand of the society, although there seems no candidate like that .

According to Gia Khukhashvili, deputy of Tbilisi Sakrebulo Aleko Elisashvili is free from the parties and partially satisfies this criterion, although the voters do not believe in him completly.

The political expert believes that Tbilisi mayoral candidates are "burdened with the parties` sins".

"Their result are tied to the party rating," Gia Khukhashvili said.

Nodar Kharshiladze, founder of "Georgian Strategic Analysis Center" thinks that Vice-Premier Kakhi Kaladze was the best candidate in the "Georgian Dream". He also points out that there is an interesting candidate for the "National Movement" and Zaliko Umumashvili might show a surprise result. As for the "European Georgia" and their candidate Elene Khoshtaria, Nodar Kharshiladze believes that this is a challenge for the party because they are participating in the first elections.

"Perhaps every person who is dissatisfied with the" Georgian Dream "but is not a supporter of" National Movement "or" European Georgia ", probably he will give Elisashvili a vote," said Nodar Kharshiladze.

Political expert Khatuna Lagazidze believes that it will be difficult for the opposition to win real success in the elections. According to her, Kakhi Kaladze`s success depends on the involvement of former prime minister, Bidzina Ivanishvili in the campaign.

"It will depend on whether Bidzina Ivanishvili will join the governmental campaign," -said Khatuna Lagazidze.
