Georgia's Ivanishvili Backtracks on Call for President to Resign - Voice of America (blog) [getdailynow.blogspot.com]

The winner of Georgia's parliamentary elections, Bidzina Ivanishvili, is backtracking on his call for President Mikheil Saakashvili to resign. Ivanishvili said Wednesday he was not issuing an ultimatum in asking Mr. Saakashvili to step down.
Ivanishvili also offered to cooperate with the incumbent president on the formation of a new government.
Earlier, Georgia parliament speaker David Bakradze said Ivanishvili's call violates the constitution, which requires the president to help the election winner form a new government.
The Georgian Dream coalition led by Ivanishvili, a billionaire, won Georgia's parliamentary election on Monday.
On Tuesday, Mr. Saakashvili conceded defeat and pledged to help the opposition form a new government. He will remain Georgia's president until his term expires next year. Under changes in the constitution, many of the president's powers will then transfer to a yet-to-be chosen prime minister. Ivanishvili is expected to take that post.
Also Wednesday, Russia said it hopes Georgia's parliamentary election will help normalize relations between the two countries. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said “Georgian society has voted for changes.â€
Ivanishvili has said he will seek close cooperation with Russia and Western powers. He also has promised not to change Georgia's course toward joining the European Union and NATO.
