Saakashvili should halt hunger strike as opposition wins, UNM's Melia says

Georgian ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili, held behind bars, should halt a hunger strike as “the opposition wins the runoffs,” said United National Movement (UNM) Chair and Tbilisi mayoral candidate Nika Melia following Mtavari Arkhi-commissioned exit polls.

Melia believes Saakashvili’s “dedication did not vanish without a trace.”

“We need him healthy and alive. We should not make Bidzina Ivanishvili happy [GD founder],” he asserted.
