Batumi City Council sitting couldn’t be held due to a lack of quorum. Members of the United National Movement, Lelo and For Georgia party did not attend the sitting.

Georgian Dream MPs were going to recognize the authority of the newly elected member Ramaz Jincharadze and to elect the Chairman.

Tengiz Abkhazava, the Chairperson of the ruling team faction, accuses the opposition of destruction.

“We have all been convinced that the UNM and Giorgi Gakharia’s party are acting in concert, they have boycotted the City Council sitting and they are rejecting the people’s choice, a candidate who has a 70% support. City Council sitting will be re-scheduled, there should be consultations. They boycotted sitting, their goal is unrest and chaos”, - thinks Tengiz Abkhazava.
