Page "Nodar Khashba" Paragraph 2

On November 14, Prime Minister Nodar Khashba, named by the relatives of Tamara Shakryl as responsible for her death and threatened by them, had to spend the night at Russia's Peacemaking Headquarters in Sukhumi.

Tensions continued to mount as the day for Bagapsh's inaugural ceremony came.

In early December 2004, however, Bagapsh came to an agreement with Khadjimba under which they would run in new elections under a national unity ticket, with Bagapsh as presidential candidate and Khadjimba as vice-presidential candidate.

The ticket won the elections with over 90 % of the vote, and the new administration took office on February 12, 2005.
