Georgian Dream picks new head of state

The Georgian Dream party would nominate incumbent Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze for reappointment, Executive Secretary of the ruling party Mamuka Mdinaradze announced.

Mdinaradze shared the results of the party’s Political Council session, revealing that Honorary Chair of the party Bidzina Ivanishvili had nominated Kobakhidze for the position, noting his candidacy had been "unanimously supported" by the Council.

"The date for the elections will be determined in the coming days, following the first session of Parliament, in accordance with the established timeline”, Mdinaradze said.
