Irakli Alasania said tonight that his decision to look at ways to agree a single opposition candidate for the post of mayor of Tbilisi is a "risky move" but will bring results.
Speaking on the public broadcaster the leader of Our Georgia Free Democrats (OGFD) said "It was a step taken to identify a single candidate. It was a risky move, but it will yield results, and society will confirm this. We'll go to elections with one voice, those political forces that are united by our shared values."
