Zaza Tavadze, Chairman of the Constitutional Court, refuses to be a judge of the Supreme Court. Tavadze wrote to Archil Talakvadze, the Chairman of Parliament of Georgia.
“It is important for me, for the judiciary to function impartially and objectively. Therefore, in order to dispel the questions around this issue, I refuse to participate in the ongoing competition for the position of Supreme Court Judge”, Zaza Tavadze's statement reads.
Zaza Tavadze applied to the Parliament and demanded the postponing of his candidacy for the post of Supreme Court judge on November 22.
One of the main reasons for his request to suspend his candidacy was the procedures regarding his master's degree, he was hoping that the given degree would be confirmed.
