Another vice parliament speaker leaves Georgia Dream

Three MPs of the Conservative party have left the Georgian Dream ruling party after the parliament rejected the ruling party proposed election bill yesterday on the transition to a fully proportional electoral system from 2020.

Leader of the party Zviad Dzidziguri, who is also a vice parliament speaker, says that the “40 ruling party MPs, who refused to vote for the bill, have made us make the decision.”

Dzidziguri said that the Conservatives “have always played a team game.” "However, we are not going to stay there where politically and morally unjustified decisions are made,” Agenda.ge cited him as saying.

Two other Conservative MPs who have left the ruling party are Giga Bukia and Nino Goguadze. 

Dzidziguri says that the remaining three members of the faction of the Conservative party [the faction is composed of six MPs] will make decisions on their own. 

As of now 12 MPs have left the ruling party due to the scrapped bill.
