Giorgi Gakharia, the former PM of Georgia, resigned in February 2021 because of differences of opinion about the arrest of Nika Melia, the leader of the UNM Party.
After his resignation, he established a new political group called ‘For Georgia’, noting that they “are uniting for Georgia but against no one.”
