Saakashvili to become Georgia's prime minister - reports
14:32 - 29.06.11
After the 2012 presidential election in Georgia, incumbent President
Mikheil Saakashvili may become the country's prime minister, reports
suggest.
The Georgian newspaper Kvella Siakhle says it has learned from sources
that the authorities are planning to nominate Tbilisi Mayor Gigi
Ugalava for presidency next year.
An opposition activist, David Berdzenashvili, has told the paper that
the country's ruling party might re-elect a former parliament speaker,
David Bakradze.
"The opposition has to win in the parliamentary election, otherwise,
it has to persuade the West not to recognize their outcome," the
Georgian oppositionist was quoted as saying.
The amended Georgian Constitution gives the prime minister precedence
over the president. After the 2012 presidential election, prime
minister will be considered the country's top figure.
