The Chairman of the Committee on Procedural Issues, Davit Matikashvili, presented the committee’s draft conclusion on the verification of the signatures of Members of Parliament on the constitutional lawsuit during the session.

“In accordance with the third paragraph of Article 204 and Article 222 of the Rules of Procedure of Parliament, the committee examined the authenticity of the signatures of Georgian MPs concerning the constitutional lawsuit. As a result of this verification, the signatures of 88 Members of Parliament were confirmed as genuine,” stated Davit Matikashvili.

He further added that, based on this, and in accordance with the Rules of Procedure, Parliament now has the authority to refer the submitted constitutional lawsuit to the Constitutional Court of Georgia.

The Georgian Dream faction, along with the political groups People’s Power and European Socialists, has jointly prepared a constitutional lawsuit, requesting the recognition of the activities of three political parties as unconstitutional and their subsequent banning. These parties are: the Citizens’ Political Union “Unity – National Movement”; the Citizens’ Political Union “Coalition for Change, Gvaramia, Melia, Girchi, Droa”; and the Citizens’ Political Union “Strong Georgia – Lelo, For the People, For Freedom.”
