The new Georgian parliament elected Shalva Papuashvili as its chairman at the first session on Monday, Interfax reports.
Papuashvili, who was the speaker in the previous parliament since December 2021, told MPs he would perform his duties for the benefit of Georgia's people.
"There are still revanchist forces in the country but they will never be able to come to power. The people of Georgia supported our party Georgian Dream in the election, and we will meet their expectations," Papuashvili said, adding that the Georgian parliament will listen to everyone, but will act solely based on national interests.
