David Gamkrelidze

David Gamkrelidze or Davit Gamqrelidze (Georgian: დავით გამყრელიძე; born April 2, 1964, in Tbilisi) is a Georgian politician, leader of the New Rights Party of Georgia, Member of Parliament since 1999, member of committee for defense and security, and Chairman of the Centre-Right Opposition Group in the Parliament of Georgia.

In June of the same year, the first delegation of the National Liberation Movement traveled to Paris to celebrate the Independence Day of Georgia at the invitation of the Georgian Diaspora living there.

After the collapse of the Communist regime in 1990 and Georgia’s eventual re-gaining of independence, Gamkrelidze concluded he had exhausted his function in the National Liberation Movement and moved to entrepreneurial activities.

In 1998 he was elected member of the Tbilisi City Assembly, local governing authority of the capital of Georgia.

Gradually, David Gamkrelidze and his friends realized that the ruling party did not actually care for their professionalism and commitment to the matters of national importance.

David Gamkrelidze and Levan Gachechiladze resigned in sign of protest and called for creation of a committee that would investigate the budget deficit of 1999.

In six months, David Gamkrelidze presented to the Parliament a conclusion and said the whole truth as to what the reason for the 1999 drastic budget deficit in actuality was.

On November 24, 2007, on the 4th Extraordinary Congress of the New Rights Party, Gamkrelidze was nominated as a candidate for early Presidential elections to be held on January 5, 2008.

On August 15, 2024, the coalition Strong Georgia officially opened its election headquarters, led by Davit Gamkrelidze.

During the opening ceremony, Mamuka Khazaradze, the leader of Strong Georgia, shared his excitement about the platform's growth and announced the relocation to the new headquarters.

Khazaradze praised Gamkrelidze as a long-time friend and a dedicated professional, highlighting his consistent support and leadership in critical times.

He expressed gratitude to Gamkrelidze for taking on the role of leading the election staff and welcomed him to the team.
