Parliament elected Nana Keinishvili and Teimuraz Khomeriki to two vacant positions of the National Bank Board.

Keinishvili’s candidacy was supported by 84 MPs, and Teimuraz Khomeriki by 82 MP’s from the majority.

Two parliamentary committees discussed the issue of candidate selection at today’s session and presented a negative conclusion to the legislature. The candidates themselves did not attend the committee discussion.

The President wanted to withdraw the candidates she nominated, although according to the majority of members, Salome Zourabichvili had no right to do so.
