Saakashvili apparently caved in, tapping Finance Minister Zurab Nogaideli from the United Democrats to head the cabinet, a compromise choice given that it was coldly received among members of his National Movement.
Among the draft amendments were proposals for granting the president authority to appoint all members of the Supreme Court and reducing the number of parliamentary deputies from 225 to 150.
On February 15, Nogaideli submitted a three year government action plan, which the right-wing opposition charged was based on the same programs developed by the Shevardnadze regime before the latter was ousted in November 2003.

Stability was supposed to be the main theme in the days that followed the death of Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania on Feb. 3.
Suspicions were bound to arise, so to nip them in the bud Merabishvili cited exact figures: The level of carbon monoxide in the blood of both Zhvania and his friend Zurab Usupov, deputy governor of the Kvemo-Kartli region, was 40 percent.
The distinction often made between the doves in the government, represented by Zhvania, and the hawks, ostensibly led by Saakashvili and his new defense minister, Irakly Okruashvili, is inane, but Zhvania nevertheless did exert a moderating influence on the president's team, notably during the crisis in South Ossetia last summer.

Relations between Russia and Georgia have reached a stalemate that jeopardises Georgia's efforts to restore stability and its territorial integrity, Zurab Nogaideli, the country's new prime minister, has told the Financial Times.
In his first interview since taking office, Mr Nogaideli said a recent visit by Sergei Lavrov, Russia's foreign minister, had failed to achieve a breakthrough in the relationship between the two countries, which has turned increasingly sour during the past year.
Mr Nogaideli, former finance minister in the government of Zurab Zhvania, who died of carbon monoxide poisoning this month, had said: "For us the most important problem in the relationship with Russia is the resolution of conflicts on our territory.

Moreover, Nogaideli has pledged Georgia will be changing personnel in the peacekeepers’ battalion by agreement with headquarters of joint forces commanded by Russia’s General Marat Kulakhmetov.
This climb-down is significant, as too frequent replacement of Georgian peacekeepers has prompted the Russians to suspect Georgia is familiarizing military with the future war theater.
