National Democratic Party (Georgia)
Political party in Georgia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Democratic Party (Georgian: ეროვნულ-დემოკრატიული პარტია, romanized: erovnul-demok'rat'iuli p'art'ia) is a political party in Georgia. It was established in 1988 by Giorgi Chanturia as a radical splinter group of the Ilia Chavchavadze Society. Although another party with the same name also existed earlier among the Georgian intelligentsia and in the Democratic Republic of Georgia from 1917 to 1924, this group was independent of that.[1]

In 2023, the party halted its cooperation with the Strength Is in Unity coalition after endorsing the ruling Georgian Dream party's preferred candidates to Georgia's High Council of Justice.[2]
