In preparation for the 2012 parliamentary elections, Georgia implemented constitutional reforms to switch to a parliamentary democracy, moving executive powers from the President to the Prime Minister. The transition was set to start with the October 2012 parliamentary elections and to be completed with the 2013 presidential elections. Against the expectations of the ruling United National Movement (UNM) of president Mikheil Saakashvili, a 6-party coalition centred around the newly founded Georgian Dream party won the parliamentary elections in October 2012, bringing an end to nine years of UNM rule and marking the first peaceful electoral transfer of power in Georgia. President Saakashvili acknowledged the defeat of his party on the following day. Georgian Dream was founded, led and financed by tycoon Bidzina Ivanishvili, the country's richest man, who was subsequently elected by parliament as new Prime Minister. Due to the incomplete transition to parliamentary democracy, a year of uneasy cohabitation between Ivanishvili and Saakashvili followed until the presidential election in October 2013, which was won by Giorgi Margvelashvili from the Georgian Dream party. With the completed transfer of power, Prime Minister Ivanishvili stepped aside and named one of his close business associates, Irakli Garibashvili, as the next prime minister. Ivanishvili has since been called the informal leader of Georgia, arranging political reappointments from behind the scenes. Saakashvili left Georgia shortly after the election. In 2018, he was convicted in absentia on corruption charges and abuse of power, which he denied. Georgian Dream won the parliamentary elections with 48.61% of the vote while UNM received 27.04%. As result of the mixed proportional-majoritarian voting system, this translated into a parliamentary supermajority of 115 out of 150 seats. This electoral imbalance became a key issue of political and civil society strife in the following years. In the 2018 presidential election, the Georgian Dream party backed Salome Zurabishvili, who won in the second round, becoming the first woman in Georgia to hold the office in full capacity. This was the last direct election of a Georgian president, as additional constitutional reforms removed the popular vote.>> <<@user-ox6gs9kl3f says : when did Georgia become an European country?? lol>> <<@DB-stuff says : The vote was fixed lots of footage of intimidation, beating up election officials, and stuffing voting boxes, lots of evidence>> <<@gandhi9936 says : Good job the West funded warmongering oppositions did not get in to make Georgia another Ukraine.>>
