Georgian Dream-Democratic Georgia & Power of the People to contest upcoming polls jointly

The Georgian Dream-Democratic Georgia and the Power of the People parties will participate in the upcoming parliamentary elections on October 26 as a single list.

Mamuka Mdinaradze, the executive secretary of the ruling party, announced this at an event marking the launch of the party's election campaign and the opening of its new central office, as reported by Caliber.Az citing Georgian media.

Mdinaradze emphasized the importance of patriotism, peace, and prosperity in the forthcoming elections, stating there is no alternative to these values.

"This will be an election in which either goodness, truth, patriotism, national strength, Georgian identity and traditions, peace, dignity, prosperity, truth, the true Christian European way will win, or... and there is no second ‘or’ here," he said.

He framed the 2024 parliamentary elections as a battle between the national authorities of an independent Georgia and the global forces of war promoting false narratives.

Power of the People was founded in August 2022 by MPs who left the ruling Georgian Dream-Democratic Georgia party to express their opinions freely without embarrassing the ruling party. These MPs continue to actively cooperate with Georgian Dream as part of the parliamentary majority.
