Georgia's Ruling Party Leads in Parliamentary Elections Rating

The Gorbi Company conducted a public opinion poll among Georgian citizens regarding the upcoming parliamentary elections in the country, which will be held in October. Almost 60% voted for the ruling Georgian Dream party.

Second place in the rating with a result of 13.1% was taken by the coalition, which consists of the largest opposition party, the United National Movement (UNM) and the Strategy Agmashenebeli movement.

Then the votes were distributed as follows. For the coalition "Lelo for Georgia", "For the People" and "Freedom Square" - 5.8%; for the coalition "Akhali", "Droa" and "Girchi - More Freedom" - 5.5%; for the party of former Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia "For Georgia" - 4.8%.

The least Georgians want to see in parliament are parties that advocate for improving relations with Russia – the Alliance of Patriots of Georgia and Alt-Info – 3%. The parliamentary elections will be held under a new, fully proportional system with a 5% threshold.
