Zugdidi Mayor Giorgi Shengelia has announced his resignation earlier today on his Facebook page ahead of this year’s municipal elections.
He wrote that he left the post because of the ‘current political situation.’
Shengelia said that it was a ‘big honor’ to him to take the mayoral post for two years and that ‘relations based on right values and honesty in politics and public sector have always been my priorities.’
Earlier his deputy, Giga Parulava left post, Agenda.ge reported.
According to media reports Shengelia and Parulava may join a political party the former PM of Georgia Giorgi Gakharia will create.
