Bachuki Kardava, Georgian Politician and leader of the National Democratic Party died at the age of 54. Dennis Sammut wrote this short obituary for commonspace.eu:
I met Bachuki Kardava for the first time in 1995, He was then the President of the NDPs youth wing. It was shortly after the death of Gia Chanturia leader of the National Democrats also at a young age. Bachuki had worked closely with Gia Chanturia and missed him both as a friend and as political mentor.
In those turbulent times of the mid 1990s Bachuki was always helpful and supportive, a great friend to the tiny but vibrant international community in Georgia at the time. He was frustrated by the developments within the National Democratic Party and missed the wisdom of Gia Chanturia. In the mid 1990s the NDP was the second strongest political force in Georgia. But that moment passed and when he became leader of the party in 2003 Bachuki Kardava could not bring back its past glory.
He died at the young age of 54.
I extend my sincere condolences to all his family and friends
