According to lawyer Valeri Gelbakhiani, ex-Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili has left the United National Movement (UNM) and Georgian politics. Gelbakhiani said that the former president's political choices are exhausted and that his primary objective is to preserve his life. According to reports, Mikheil Saakashvili informed Gelbakhiani that he travelled to Georgia to prove he wasn't a coward and wasn't evading the law.

"The government has a responsibility to preserve human life, and no physician knows the right formula for Saakashvili's medication," he continued. "Saakashvili is not iron-based. As a person, he needs support. Everyone should act if they want Misha [Saakashvili] to live," Valeri Gelbakhiani stated.

Nika Melia, the Chairman of the United National Movement, said that the process is already hurting the opposition. "His position and attitude are important to me and to you as well. It’s just that what is happening now waters Ivanishvili’s mill. Saakashvili will be visited by a representative of our party tomorrow. However, I perceive the context very well from many points of view, and I do not want, even from my very correct position, to interfere in sending Mikheil Saakashvili abroad. I have no right," Nika Melia emphasized.
