Georgia’s Prime Minister, Giorgi Gakharia, has resigned from his position on Thursday.
The former PM said it was necessary to vacate his seat because he is not in support of the authority arresting a top opposition leader as it could escalate a political crisis in the ex-Soviet nation.
Gakharia said he was stepping down because of disagreement in the government over enforcing a court order to arrest Chairman of United National Movement, Nika Melia, saying to do so would “pose a risk to the health and lives of our citizens and increase political polarisation in the country.”
The court ruling came amid a political crisis in Georgia that followed parliamentary elections in October that independent monitors say were marred by irregularities. All the opposition parties are boycotting parliament, refusing to assume their mandates.

At the same time, secessionist movements particularly in South Ossetia and Abkhazia erupted in various parts of the country. In 1992 Abkhazia reinstated its 1925 constitution and declared independence, which the international community refused to recognize. In late 1993 Georgia joined the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), a loose confederation of former Soviet republics; following a cease-fire reached with Abkhazia in 1994, CIS peacekeepers were deployed to the region, although violence was ongoing. Georgia later signed an association agreement with the European Union, joined the Council of Europe and the World Trade Organization, and became a partner in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
