Kakha Kaladze denies his appointment as Prime Minister of Georgia

The Energy Minister of Georgia, Deputy Prime Minister Kakha Kaladze, today denied rumours about his appointment to the office of Prime Minister of Georgia.

The current Prime Minister of Georgia, Bidzina Ivanishvili, is expected to name his successor on Saturday.

Kaladze said that he has a great number of responsibilities as Energy Minister and therefore excludes the possibility of being appointed as Prime Minister of Georgia, News-Georgia reports.

Bidzina Ivanishvili plans to leave politics a week after the inauguration of the new president, which will take place on November 17.
