RUNNERS AND RIDERS

...for the Georgian Presidential election on 4 January 2004

Sergo Aksentiev
Lia Amanatashvili
Vazha Chkhaidze (not to be confused with...)
Gia Chkhikvadze
Kartlos Gharibashvili, Georgian Lawyers Association (lawyer for a would-be Presidential assasin)
Igor Giorgadze, (former Security Minister, wanted in connection with a different attempted assassination of Shevardnadze)
Zurab Kelekhsashvili, Mdzleveli (fig man)
Bidzina Kharibegashvili
Roin Liparteliani, David (not Bob) the Builder party
Iuri Mkrtumiants
Giorgi Qorghanashvili
Mikheil Saakashvili, leader, National Movement (and likely winner)
Temuraz Shashiashvili
Zaza Sikharulidze, Disabled Association
Elene Tepnadze

Giorgadze's candidacy is likely to be thrown out (!) and not because fo the assasination attempt. Apparently, he can't claim residancy. He has been living in South Ossetia.

Ah, politics...
