Pro-presidential MP Candidate Withdraws Lawsuit against Burjanadze

Dodo Shelia of the pro-presidential election bloc For New Georgia, who runs for Kutaisi single-mandate constituency, today withdrew her lawsuit against Nino Burjanadze, Parliamentary Chairperson and leader of the Burjanadze-Democrats opposition alliance.

Dodo Shelia accused Nino Burjanadze, who also runs for MP in Kutaisi, of misusing state resources during her election campaign. The appeal read that Burjanadze used the car of the Parliament during the campaigning.

The pro-presidential candidate said, she withdrew the lawsuit to avoid destabilization on the eve of the parliamentary elections, since the supporters of the Burjanadze-Democrats threatened with holding protest rallies in the city.

The pro-presidential MP candidate filed a lawsuit against Burjanadze on October 31. The Kutaisi district court was to discuss the case on November 1.
