PM Kvirikashvili unveils Georgian Dream list candidates for October elections

Georgian prime minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili named on Wednesday some of the candidates who will be running on his Georgian Dream party's list in the upcoming legislative elections.

“I believe that along with the existing team, the Georgian Dream’s renewed team will win a convincing victory in the elections,” he said. The exact ordering of candidates on the list has not been confirmed. Eight of the 15 candidates on the list are women, a fact Kvirikashvili said was “not by chance”.
