During an interview with ISFED, Majoritarian Candidate of the Civil Platform – New Georgia Giorgi Tabidze stated that the party wanted to rent a commercial space for office in Vani in the building that also housed an office of the party Georgian Dream – Democratic Georgia. According to the candidate, the party had reached a preliminary agreement with owner of the commercial space Nugzar Baghdavadze, according to which they would sign a lease agreement valid from July 8 through October 9; however, at the last minute owner of the space backed off, saying that because he was an active supporter of the Georgian Dream, he was refusing to rent the space to any other party.
