Encyclopedic overview
Georgian Dream – Democratic Georgia (GD), also colloquially known as the Kotsebi, is a conservative and populist political party in Georgia, which has ruled the country since 2012. Bidzina Ivanishvili, who founded the party on 19 April 2012 and is widely considered to be the de facto leader of Georgia, serves as the party's honorary chairman. The party's electoral number is 41.
The party won the general election in 2012, being part of an eclectic coalition also called Georgian Dream, which included both pro-Western liberal and anti-NATO nationalist parties. Subsequently, the Georgian Dream party (independent of its coalition) also won all subsequent general elections and is a ruling party of the country.
