- Jibladze presided at the inaugural session of the Constituent Assembly (12 Mar 1919) as the oldest deputy. At the same session, Chkheidze (in absentia) and Lomtatidze were elected to the offices of chairman and senior deputy chairman respectively. As Chkheidze had departed on a diplomatic mission, Lomtatidze took over the chairmanship of the Assembly.
- Pending the assumption of chairmanship of the Constituent Assembly, Chkheidze exercised the functions of diplomatic representation of Georgia abroad. After his return to Georgia, he participated in the meetings of the Presidium of the Constituent Assembly (5, 15 and 16 Jan 1921) and finally took chairmanship of the Constituent Assembly on 21 Jan 1921.
- The last meeting of the Constituent Assembly took place in Batumi, Georgia, apparently on 17 Mar 1921, but the date cannot be confirmed since the minutes were either not kept or were lost (Georgia Constituent Assembly Minutes 1919-1921, 8:xxiii, 8:333-334).
