Another member of the Georgian Dream ruling party, Levan Gogichaishvili, has quit today after the party members refused or refrained from supporting the bill regarding the court proposed by him and eight other legislators of the ruling party.
Gogichaishvili said that the Georgian Dream party "lost the moral advantage" when it did not vote for the postponement of the lifetime appointment of judges until December 31, 2024.
The MP claims that with the refusal the GD actually supported the stay of the judges in the court system who were involved in illegalities under the United National Movement leadership, Agenda.ge reported.
Another member of the party, one of the key initiators of the bill, former head of Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee Eka Beselia has also quit the party today.
In total 45 MPs supported the bill and 17 went against. The support of at least 76 MPs were mandatory for the bill to be passed.
