Sitting of Parliamentary Majority to be held at central office of Georgian Dream Party

The sitting of the parliamentary majority will be held today at the central office of the ruling Georgian Dream-Democratic Georgia Party. Changes to be made into Constitution regarding transformation onto a proportional system of elections will be the main topic for discussions.

Bidzina Ivanishvili, Chairman of Georgian Dream Party and Irakli Kobakhidze, former Speaker of the Parliament initiated the proposed changes.

Based on the change, the 2020 parliamentary elections will be held with the proportional (party) system under the conditions of 0%, the so-called ‘natural’ election barrier.

Some Majoritarian (single mandate) MPs disagree with the proposed changes. Discussions over constitutional changes will also continue in the parliament.
