**Member of Abkhazia’s Supreme Council Criticizes “Georgian Dream” Party**
Ada Marshania, a member of the Supreme Council of Abkhazia, spoke out against the “Georgian Dream” party during Georgia‘s presidential election. Marshania criticized the party for choosing Mikheil Kavelashvili as their candidate.
Marshania said that by selecting Kavelashvili, the party had harmed both Georgia and itself. She stated that she does not approve of Kavelashvili’s candidacy and will cast an empty ballot instead of voting for him.
In a speech to parliament, Marshania said: “You should have thought this through better. You, collectively, have harmed both Georgia and yourselves as a political force.” This means that Marshania believes the party made a mistake by choosing Kavelashvili.
