Four members of the Georgian Labor Party – Shalva Natelashvili, Giorgi Gugava, Ioseb Shatberashvili and Kakha Dzagania have submitted applications to the parliament on cancellation of their mandates.

The application was written in the name of Davit Bakradze, Georgia’s Parliamentary Speaker. But due to the fact that Laborites do not recognize the government as legitimate, Bakradze was mentioned as head of the election headquarters of the ruling National Movement party.

It is not yet known whether the parliament will consider such a letter. According to the set procedures, the application has to be satisfied within one week term.
