Democracy in Action – the Mayoral Elections in Tbilisi, Georgia

In this episode, John speaks with Dr Ana Dolidze, leader of the For the People Party who recently challenged incumbent Tbilisi’s Mayor, Kakha Kaladze. How vital was this mayoral election to the city of Tbilisi, the capital of the Republic of Georgia? Did this election signal a shift in Georgian politics generally? This interview was conducted while Ana was driven to her Tbilisi office. She is holding the phone in her hand, and the noise you hear in the background is that of the jewellery on her arm.
