Direct elections for Tbilisi mayor were held for the first time. The ruling United National Movement party received 86.4% of the seats nationwide. Background In spring 2009, various opposition parties initiated anti-government protests, demanding Mikheil Saakashvili's resignation. During the rallies, Tbilisi Mayor Gigi Ugulava proposed that local elections be held in spring 2010, before the statutory deadline of fall 2010, and that the Tbilisi mayor be directly elected by voters. Ugulava's initiative was approved by the President of Georgia, who addressed the UN General Assembly on 25 September 2009 and expressed his readiness for direct elections of all mayors in 2010.http://www.civil.ge/geo/article.php?id=21805&search=%E1%83%9B%E1%83%94%E1%83%A0%E1%83%98%E1%83%A1%20%E1%83%9E%E1%83%98%E1%83%A0%E1%83%93%E1%83%90%E1%83%9E%E1%83%98%E1%83%A0%E1%83%98%20%E1%83%90%E1%83%A0%E1%83%AA%E1%83%94%E1%83%95%E1%83%9C%E1%83%94%E1%83%91%E1%83%98 სააკაშვილის თქმით, "ყველა მერი პირდაპირი წესით აირჩევა" 2010-12-08 https://web.archive.org/web/20160304220618/http://www.civil.ge/geo/article.php?id=21805&search=%E1%83%9B%E1%83%94%E1%83%A0%E1%83%98%E1%83%A1%20%E1%83%9E%E1%83%98%E1%83%A0%E1%83%93%E1%83%90%E1%83%9E%E1%83%98%E1%83%A0%E1%83%98%20%E1%83%90%E1%83%A0%E1%83%AA%E1%83%94%E1%83%95%E1%83%9C%E1%83%94%E1%83%91%E1%83%98 2016-03-04 Nevertheless, on 28 December 2009, the Parliament of Georgia approved legislative changes that only established direct mayoral elections in Tbilisi.http://www.civil.ge/geo/article.php?id=22139&search= პარლამენტმა ჩააგდო "ყველა მერის" პირდაპირი წესით არჩევის წინადადება 2010-12-08 https://web.archive.org/web/20160305022400/http://www.civil.ge/geo/article.php?id=22139&search= 2016-03-05 It was also determined that the mayor of Tbilisi would be elected with a 30% threshold.http://www.civil.ge/geo/article.php?id=22180&search= პარლამენტმა საარჩევნო კოდექსში ცვლილებები დაამტკიცა 2010-12-08 https://web.archive.org/web/20160304221130/http://www.civil.ge/geo/article.php?id=22180&search= 2016-03-04 2010 Tbilisi mayoral election 2010 Tbilisi mayoral election Georgia presidential no 46.64% 2006 Georgian local elections 2006 30 May 2010 2014 Georgian local elections 2014 Gigi Ugulava toasts the construction of the new USAID building (May 31, 2007)-2.jpg 900000 Gigi Ugulava UNM 248,954 55.23% Irakli Alasania.jpg 005CB2 Irakli Alasania Alliance for Georgia 85,864 19.05% The 2010 Tbilisi mayoral election was held on 30 May 2010.
