14:43, 13.10.2023

The Constitutional Court usually announces rulings in the oral hearing in the courtroom. Merab Turava, the Constitutional Court Chair, stated that it would be appropriate to announce the verdict in the President’s impeachment case on the court.

Also, as Merab Turava noted, the judgment should be delivered no later than October 16.

“The application was registered on September 14 and was submitted to the Plenum on September 15. The deadline to send the verdict to the Parliament is October 14. However, October 14 is a day off. According to Article 41 of the Constitutional Court of Georgia Regulations, the ruling should be sent on the first working day. It is Monday, October 16,” he said.

The Georgian Parliament will hold an impeachment vote against President Salome Zourabichvili after the Constitutional Court makes its ruling.

The ruling Georgian Dream party decided to impeach President Salome Zourabichvili for violation of the Constitution by travelling to European Union countries without the government’s permission.
