Nanuka Zhorzholiani: Reformers’ Council formed independently of party to remove barriers for volunteers; entire strategy to be made public

Nanuka Zhorzholiani has clarified the core objectives behind the newly established Reforms Council and outlined who can participate in the process.

Writing on social media, Zhorzholiani emphasised that the entire substance of their strategy will be made available to everyone and that the entire process will remain fully transparent.

“Why was the Reformers’ Council created independently of the party? This was done to ensure rigid party structures do not become a barrier for ordinary people, allowing as many individuals as possible to participate in these vital discussions and debates. We want to welcome patriots of all professions, ages, and backgrounds, even those who might not typically vote for the UNM, but who share our primary objective: to defeat Georgian Dream. This will be an attempt to forge a highly pragmatic, business-like coalition.

Anyone from our diaspora and immigrant communities is welcome to join this movement. We are eager to receive fresh ideas, feedback, and proposals on how they envision expanding the frontline of this battle. This will not be the kind of superficial, tick-box format seen in the past.

Everyone will be integrated into the reform process on an individual level.
Who will be our primary allies? The youth wing of the United National Movement and members of the Political Council. Our absolute priority now shifts to the regions, as well as the female members and voters of the UNM, who, in my view, constitute the backbone of this party.

The full details of the plan will be made public to drive engagement into its most active phase.

Knowing my character, you can rest assured that everything will be entirely transparent, and I am completely open to debate. I will listen to you, and together, we will shape the political agenda,” Nanuka Zhorzholiani wrote.

Recently, the former President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, also posted on social media, proposing that the United National Movement elect a temporary governing body and establish a Reformers’ Council. Under his proposal, Saakashvili would serve as the chairman, with Nanuka Zhorzholiani appointed as executive secretary.
