Georgian President Pardons Two Opposition Politicians Before Elections

Georgian President Pardons Two Opposition Politicians Before Elections

The President of Georgia has decided to let two politicians out of jail before the upcoming local elections.

These politicians are from the opposition party Lelo for Georgia and were previously sentenced to eight months.

The President said he did this to make sure the elections are fair and that everyone has a chance to participate.

This also allows the politicians to run in the local elections.

The pardoned politicians were jailed for not answering questions from lawmakers.

Some opposition parties have accused the ruling party of cheating in the previous election and are not participating in the upcoming elections.

The president hopes the politicians will continue their political work legally.
