Background The previous local election in Georgia was held in May 2010 and resulted in the overwhelming victory of the United National Movement (UNM) party, chaired by then-President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili. The 2014 election was held in a changed political climate as the UNM lost its position of a ruling party to Bidzina Ivanishvili-led Georgian Dream coalition in the parliamentary election of 2012 and Saakashvili's second and final presidential term expired in 2013. After the Georgian Dream's accession to power, the bodies of local government became political battlegrounds and many members of the local councils abandoned the UNM.Corso Molly Georgia: Political Tumult Hits Regions http://www.eurasianet.org/node/66341 30 June 2013 EurasiaNet's Weekly Digest December 26, 2012 Both the UNM leadership and political analysts saw the local elections of 2014 as a chance for the UNM to stage a political comeback.Corso Molly A potential split in Georgian Dream gives Saakashvili's party hope http://www.bne.eu/story4520/A_potential_split_in_Georgian_Dream_gives_Saakashvilis_party_hope 30 June 2013 Business New Europe February 7, 2013 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20130210094512/http://www.bne.eu/story4520/A_potential_split_in_Georgian_Dream_gives_Saakashvilis_party_hope 10 February 2013 Whitmore Brian Saakashvili’s National Movement Fights To Escape Political Wilderness https://www.rferl.org/a/georgia-politics-saakashvili-party/24970833.html 30 June 2013 April 28, 2013 Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty 2014 Tbilisi mayoral election 2014 Tbilisi mayoral election Georgia presidential no 37.34% (first round)34.35% (second round) 2010 Tbilisi mayoral election 2010 15 June 2014 (first round)12 July 2014 (second round) 2017 Tbilisi mayoral election 2017 Davit Narmania.jpg 0D00B3 Davit Narmania Georgian Dream 222,066 72.47% Nika Melia.jpg 900000 Nika Melia UNM 84,350 27.53% The first round of the 2014 Tbilisi mayoral election was held on 15 June 2014.
