George Mchedlishvili connects the dismissal with his political activities. More specifically, the Coalition interviewers were checking the voters list door-to-door in Lagodekhi municipality, when the governor of the territorial unit for village Kabali Jemal Niyazov demanded that they stopped working, as he considered activities of interviewers as a political agitation.
