Girchi – More Freedom

It was in late 2020 founded by Zurab Japaridze, former leader of the New Political Center – Girchi, following the party split.

The party was a part of Coalition for Change electoral alliance for the 2024 parliamentary election, receiving 3 seats in the Georgian parliament.

The origins of Girchi date back to 2015 when four dissenting MPs from United National Movement, including Zurab Japaridze, left the party.

[10][11] However, claiming electoral fraud, Girchi refused to recognize the results and joined the boycott of the parliament.

[12] On 4 December Japaridze announced his departure from the party in a move that Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty referred to as "unsurprising".

[18] Ahead of the 2021 local elections, Girchi - More Freedom, along with 3 other opposition parties (United National Movement, European Georgia, Droa), named joint candidates in Tbilisi.

[27] The two parties have subsequently criticized Central Election Commission for what they see as an insufficient response to the issue of emigrants voting from abroad.

On economic issues, Girchi — More Freedom supports a free market economy, tax cuts, deregulation, and the abolition of the National Bank of Georgia.
