Billionaire Ivanishvili will lead the ruling party of Georgia

Georgian Prime Minister Georgy Kvirikashvili said at a special briefing that the founder of the ruling Georgian Dream party, billionaire Bidzin Ivanishvili, agreed to head the ruling party. It is possible that it is Bidzina Ivanishvili that will become a candidate of the party in the authorities in the upcoming presidential election in October.

Speaking on an extraordinary briefing live all nationwide television companies, Prime Minister Georgy Kvirikashvili, who, according to the Constitution, possessed the full power in the country, said that he personally proposed a billionaire Bijanishvili to head the ruling party "Georgian Dream" and accepted this proposal.

“He is able to strengthen our party in the rank of its chairman, to give the party a new dynamics of development,” the prime minister said, expressing confidence that the party’s congress, outlined in the near future, “unanimously elects Ivanishvili the leader of the party.”

Bidzina Ivanishvili founded the Georgian Dream party in 2011, defeated the Party of Mikhail Saakashvili in the Parliamentary elections of 2012, and, in fact, forced the ex-president, against which the Prosecutor General’s prosecutor’s office opened four criminal cases, to escape from the country.
