An official in the administration of Mikheil Saakashvili, she joined the public service in Georgia after studying in the United States and, after a short stint as a diplomat, became Deputy Head of the Chamber of Control.

[4] During the 2012 parliamentary election, Tina Bokuchava was placed in 4th position in the United National Movement's electoral list, being presented as a relatively new leading figure of the ruling party.

Through her second term, she grew increasingly vocal with her criticism on the country's judicial independence, accusing judges of corruption and of belonging to a so-called "clan" benefiting the ruling Georgian Dream party.

[16] In September 2019, she was selected as her party's representative on the Constitutional Commission meant to organize public discussions over a compromise offered by Georgian Dream to hold the 2020 parliamentary election in a fully proportional method as a way to get Georgia out of its political crisis.

[24] She also sponsored a failed bill to create a parliamentary investigative committee into the controversial death of Temirlan Machalikhashvili, a young man killed by law enforcement officers during an anti-terroristic operation in the Pankisi Valley.

[31] Tina Bokuchava agreed to take part in negotiations with the government mediated by EU Council President Charles Michel in March 2021, announcing the postponement of all demonstrations planned by her party throughout the talks.

[33] The agreement was short-lived as the ruling party cancelled it within a few months and Bokuchava visited the United States with UNM Chairman Nika Melia to shore up U.S. Congressional support for the Georgian opposition.

On May 8, she would be elected chair of the UNM Faction in Parliament, replacing Khatia Dekanoidze who had previously resigned and left the party in protest of its new leadership under the helm of Levan Khabeishvili.

[45] She would reveal evidence linking Badri Katamadze, the man arrested for setting fire to the Saakashvili Presidential Library in 2020, to the State Security Service.

[46] Bokuchava was heavily involved in the 2018 presidential election, endorsing UNM nominee Grigol Vashadze and campaigning against GD-backed Salome Zourabichvili, calling her a "puppet"[47] and "traitor".

[51] She would also endorse Sandra Roelofs's campaign for Mayor of Zugdidi in May 2019 and was notably expelled forcibly from a voting site[52] for failing to present an identification card.

[53] On 8 June, Tinatin Bokuchava became chair of the United National Movement, succeeding Levan Khabeishvili who resigned due to health complications following his beating at the hands of Georgian police the month before.

[55] Tina Bokuchava has distinguished herself for being a vocal opponent of the Georgian Dream-led government since 2012, repeatedly calling for its resignation during various political crises and for snap parliamentary elections.

[62] She has also proposed an expansion of the Georgian Law on Occupied Territories to also apply to the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, effectively imposing new sanctions on Russia.

According to ISFED, a Tbilisi-based civil society organization, Tina Bokuchava has been "one of the main targets of sexist attacks by groups affiliated with the ruling Georgian Dream party".

[68] In May 2019, Tazo Patsatsia, chairman of the Municipal Assembly of Zugdidi, issued a lewd statement hinting at an intimate relationship between her and former president Saakashvili, which he later justified as the result of "provocations".

Watch for your face, you're still a little girl, it'll be useful in the future.Following the attacks on Tbilisi Pride in July 2021, Tina Bokuchava accused the government of encouraging far-right groups to be violent.

[76] In a highly mediatized incident, Bokuchava sought to once again approach the Speaker's tribune in the midst of a hearing by Gomelauri, but was grabbed and pulled away by MP Shalva Papuashvili.

The event was condemned by the Public Defender's Office, President Salome Zourabichvili, and several opposition members of Parliament, while the civil society organization Georgian Young Lawyers' Association called it an "example of misogyny and harassment that sets a dangerous example for all other women and girls in Georgia."

The Gender Council of Parliament, chaired by Georgian Dream MP Nino Tsilosani, later ruled that the incident did not involve gender-based violence, while Papuashvili himself stated it was his "moral obligation" to grab away Bokuchava.
