“A meeting was held with the participation of the political board, parliamentary majority and government members. We discussed several important political issues, including the participation of Georgian Dream in the presidential elections. On the basis of the discussion, we made the decision that Georgian Dream will not nominate a candidate for the presidential election,” said Kobakhidze.
