Georgia's ruling party wins local elections in all municipalities

05 October 2025 15:32

After counting ballots from all 3,061 polling stations, Georgia’s Central Election Commission (CEC) has released preliminary results of the local elections, declaring the ruling Georgian Dream (GD) party a winner, Caliber.Az reports, citing Sputnik Georgia.

According to the CEC, the GD party has won in all municipalities of the country, securing 81.68% of the votes.

A total of 1,104,545 voters supported the ruling party. The commission received 25 complaints in total. Voter turnout stood at 40.93%, with 1,438,116 citizens casting their ballots.

In Tbilisi, GD's Kakha Kaladze was re-elected mayor with 71.56% of the vote, securing control of the capital's city council with 80.27% in proportional races. Nationwide, GD candidates triumphed in every municipality, amassing 1,104,545 votes and effectively consolidating local power ahead of potential snap parliamentary polls. Smaller opposition parties like Lelo/Strong Georgia (6.78%) and Gakharia – For Georgia (3.87%) trailed far behind, while major pro-EU blocs boycotted the vote to protest the legitimacy of GD's rule.

Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze hailed the results as a "confident victory" reflecting public support for GD's "sovereign" policies, vowing to punish those behind post-election unrest as "foreign-backed agitators." Party founder Bidzina Ivanishvili, a reclusive billionaire with ties to Moscow, celebrated the sweep as proof of 80% national backing. However, President Salome Zourabichvili, a pro-EU critic of GD, decried the elections as a "democratic tragedy" and "Russian special operation," urging international intervention.
