The Georgian Dream party continues to pursue its former allies. Garibashvili stepped down a second time in 2024, shortly after Bidzina Ivanishvili returned to politics for the third time. Gakharia resigned as prime minister in 2021, citing a disagreement with Ivanishvili over the arrest of opposition leader Nika Melia. These include Tea Tsulukiani, head of the parliamentary commission investigating Saakashvili’s government, MP Giorgi Volski, and former prime minister Irakli Garibashvili. Georgian Dream as a party doesn’t exist — Ivanishvili can easily dismiss everyone,” former adviser to Ivanishvili and political analyst Gia Khukhashvili told Formula.
