The Georgian Parliament terminated the MP mandate of Georgian Dream’s Nino Latsabidze, who has taken up her office as the Mayor of Rustavi.

She scored a victory in the Rustavi mayoral runoff on November 30 in the 2021 municipal polls, against United National Movement contender Davit Kirkitadze.

Latsabidze had become a parliament member after winning the 2020 Parliamentary Election runoffs in Rustavi majoritarian constituency, amid the opposition boycott of the second rounds over “election-rigging.” 

To replace Latsabidze, Georgian Dream’s sole female majoritarian MP in the Parliament, by-elections shall be held in the Rustavi majoritarian constituency in May 2022.
