The 2014 Georgian local elections (Georgian: საქართველოს ადგილობრივი თვითმმართველობის ორგანოების არჩევნები) were held on 15 June and 12 July 2014 to elect the councils of local government, sakrebulo, mayors of 12 self-governing cities, as well as the governors, gamgebeli, of 59 municipalities.
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.[1] Both the UNM leadership and political analysts saw the local elections of 2014 as a chance for the UNM to stage a political comeback.[2][3]
