"Today I would like to inform you about my decision to leave politics. Speculations regarding my future political activities have not stopped for the past few weeks. Accordingly, I consider myself obliged to society to give comprehensive answers to the questions. Until now, every step of my political life was based on a specific goal - serving our country and people and strengthening our state. Accordingly, my main motivation, as one of the patriots of this country, has always been love for my family and, therefore, my sincere and strong desire to contribute at least one solid brick to the strengthening of our country," Garibashvili commented on his departure from the post.

He concluded that he had "fulfilled his mission" and no longer sees himself as the chairman of "Georgian Dream" or a political figure. At the same time, Garybashvili emphasized that he remains "a faithful soldier of both the team of Mr. Bidzyna Ivanishvili and our country."
