Twelve members of parliament from the Gakharia for Georgia party had their mandates terminated following a decision at Wednesday’s plenary session, The Caspian Post reports, citing Georgian media.
The MPs- including Giorgi Gakharia, Teona Akubardia, and Ana Buchukuri-were stripped of their seats due to repeated absences from parliamentary sessions without valid reasons, according to the parliamentary rapporteur.
Despite the termination of the mandates, which GD MPs carried out one by one with For Georgia MPs, the party can still enter the rump parliament if the next 12 members on its list choose to take up the seats. The law requires each member to submit a personal letter to revoke their mandate.
