The Georgian Dream and People's Power factions are listening to the new composition of the government in a closed format. The leader of the session, the Chairman of the Georgian Dream faction, Mamuka Mdinaradze, proposed to the majority to close the session, as this is a meeting of the majority with the future composition of the government, after which, as a result of voting, the members of the majority made a decision to close the session.
Later today, the Cabinet of Ministers and the government program will be submitted to the plenary session of the Parliament for the vote of confidence.
The Parliament shall hold a vote confidence in the manner established for the consideration of the draft law in the first reading. This means that the Prime Minister-designate will first present the government program, after which the MPs will ask questions, and there will be speeches within the committees, as well as factions and political groups.
Georgian Dream nominated Irakli Kobakhidze for the post of Prime Minister. The change in the Cabinet of Ministers only affected the Minister of Defense. Juansher Burchuladze will be replaced by Irakli Chikovani, the majoritarian MP of Zugdidi, the Vice-Speaker of the Parliament.
