TBILISI (Reuters) - Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili, hoping to ease fears of instability, says he will not try to jail President Mikheil Saakashvili when his rival steps down after Sunday's election.

In an interview with Reuters on Friday, he reaffirmed a plan to quit as the former Soviet republic's premier in the weeks after Sunday's vote and revealed he would nominate a member of his government to replace him, but gave no name.
