The candidacy of Zurab Pataradze was presented for the position of Chairman of the Government of the Autonomous Republic of Adjara. Zurab Pataradze thanked the government representatives for the trust placed in him and noted that he would do everything for the well-being of his native Adjara.

“I want to express my great gratitude to you for your trust. This is a significant responsibility and a formidable challenge, which we will meet with dignity and resolve together with our team. We are committed to continuing the important work that has already begun and to building on our progress. Of course, I will do everything for the well-being of my region, my native Adjara.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks once again, and to particularly acknowledge the former Chairman of Adjara, Sulkhan Tamazashvili. During the period he held this important position, many significant tasks were initiated, and I am sure we will continue these tasks and together manage the important processes called the construction of our country, the future of our country, and the success of our region. Of course, we continue to work with our team, and in this context, I want to express particularly great thanks to the Honorary Chairman of our party, Mr. Bidzina Ivanishvili, who has made a tremendous contribution to the construction of our country. We, as ordinary soldiers, will do everything for the well-being of our country”, - said Zurab Pataradze.
