ქართული ოცნება ბიძინა ივანიშვილი

In the first 6 months of 2025, all parties received a total of 7,592,948 GEL in donations, of which 87% - 6,573,370 GEL - was received by Georgian Dream, - according to the report by TI Georgia.

The donation received by the ruling party is 6 times more than the donations received by all other parties combined (1,019,578 GEL), which highlights a sharp financial inequality. The potential participation of large donors to Georgian Dream in systemic corruption continues to raise legitimate questions - companies associated with them receive multi-million GEL tenders and budget subsidies.

  • The Absolute Financial Domination of the Ruling Party
    • Georgian Dream received 6.6 million GEL in donations, which is 87% of the donations received by all parties.
    • This amount is 6 times more than the donations received by all other parties combined.
  • State Contracts Received in Parallel with Donations
    • Eleven companies associated with the ruling party's donors have won state tenders worth 143.6 million GEL since 2024, and since 2016, they have won tenders worth 422 million GEL.
    • Twenty-three companies associated with the ruling party's donors received simplified procurement contracts worth up to 1.5 million GEL. Since 2016, these same companies have received contracts worth up to 15 million GEL.
    • During the same period, no company associated with opposition party donors has won a tender, and the total value of simplified procurement contracts received is 185,447 GEL.
  • Donors as Large Beneficiaries of State Subsidies
    • Since 2024, 13 companies associated with donors have received more than 27 million GEL in agricultural subsidies. In total, these companies have received subsidies worth more than 71 million GEL.
    • Particularly noteworthy is the business network of Vakhtang Karichashvili, whose companies received more than 25 million GEL, which constitutes 13% of the agro-subsidies issued in 2024.
    • During the same period, no company associated with opposition party donors has received an agro-subsidy.
  • Anomalous Growth of Donations from Adjara
    • In the three months following the resignation of Tornike Rizhvadze, the Chairman of the Government of the Autonomous Republic of Adjara, more than 2.5 million GEL was donated to the party from the region. Such a large amount of donations from the region in this timeframe is unprecedented and raises suspicion that the donations were made through third parties, which is a violation of the law.
  • "People's Power" is Financed by the Traditional Donors of Georgian Dream
    • The party received a donation of 190,000 GEL; all donors had donated to Georgian Dream in past years, and in total, they have contributed 337,369 GEL to the ruling party's coffers.
