The ruling National Movement party will have 39 seats in new 50-member Tbilisi City Council with the rest 11 seats distributed among four other parties.

The ruling party is also heading to winning majority of seats in rest of 63 councils across the country.

In Tbilisi the ruling party is expected to take all 25 seats, which were for grabs through majoritarian, first-past-the-post contest in Tbilisi’s single-mandate constituencies, according to the early results.

In addition the National Movement party, which garnered 52.48% of votes, secured 14 seats from 25 available through party-list, proportional contest.

Alliance for Georgia, a four-party coalition, received 17.9% votes and secured 5 seats in the Tbilisi City Council, followed by Christian-Democratic Movement – 12%, translated into 3 seats in the council; National Council, a three-party coalition, has 8.3% and 2 seats and Industrialists Party – 6.3%, which means 1 seat in the Tbilisi City Council.

Other nine political parties running for the Tbilisi City Council failed to clear 4% threshold.

From Alliance for Georgia the following candidates will take seats in the Tbilisi City Council: Tina Khidasheli of the Republican Party; Davit Saganelidze of the New Rights Party; Zurab Abashidze of Alasania’s party Our Georgia–Free Democrats (OGFD); Victor Dolidze of OGFD, who is Georgia’s former ambassador to OSCE and Natela Machavariani of Georgia’s Way, party led by ex-foreign minister Salome Zourabichvili.

Christian-Democratic Movement endorsed following candidates: ex-TV anchor Inga Grigolia; Jaba Samushia and Zaza Gabunia.

The National Council will be represented in the Tbilisi City Council by Koba Davitashvili, a current member of the City Council and leader of People’s Party and Kakha Kukava, one of the leaders of Conservative Party.
