Georgia: Rivals say they plan to remove Georgian president - by Charles Clover
Levan Gachechiladze, Mr Saakashvili's former campaign manager, who ran against him in January's presidential elections, said Georgia's political opposition would campaign for elections to be held "at the earliest opportunity", perhaps within two months. "This government has no chance of establishing trust with Georgians," he said. Kakha Kukava, secretary-general of the opposition Conservative party of Georgia, similarly criticised the president for the war. "Saakashvili was personally responsible for the military operation, and for starting a war we could not win," he said, adding that his party would wait until the situation had cooled and then call for mass demonstrations aimed at removing the government.
