In Tbilisi, the European Georgia will have two candidates with the name of the united opposition bloc - Elene Khoshtaria in Vake-Saburtalo and Shalva Shavgulidze in Mtatsminda. 

Davit Bakradze announced that the chairman of the campaign headquarter will be MP Sergi Kapanadze.

Elections are scheduled to be held in Georgia on 31 October 2020 to elect the 150 members of Parliament.

This year, parliamentary elections in the country will be held in rather a different format based on the new electoral law - under the context of a mixed electoral system (120 proportional, 30 majoritarian) and with a 1% threshold.

In addition, the party which receives less than 40.54% votes under the proportional system, will not be able to form an independent majoritarian government.

The ruling party Georgian Dream has already presented the approved list of majoritarians for the upcoming elections, which is consisted of 30 politicians.
