UNM’s Mamulashvili doubts election result push processes Georgia needs today

The member of the United National Movement (UNM), Nona Mamulashvili, has congratulated his challenger Levan Khabeishvili on winning the UNM leadership race.

In her Facebook post Mamulashvili said: “Many thanks to everyone who took part in the election and many thanks to those who supported me.”

“I have to note that the result of the election does note give me reason to hope that the process that our country needs will begin today. Unfortunately, this was already evident from the pre-election environment…

I wish Levan a great deal of success – he is not the problem now. The problem is that money and informal influences have won out over politics in the big picture. I want to believe that the result in this case will not be what the result usually is under such circumstances,” she posted.

With 52.58% of votes, Levan Khabeishvili has been elected a new UNM Chair after beating Nika Melia (40%), Giorgi Mumladze (3.68%), and Nona Mamulashvili (3.73%).
