People's Power (Georgian: ხალხის ძალა, romanized: khalkhis dzala) is an anti-Western political party in Georgia. It was founded by MPs Sozar Subari, Mikheil Kavelashvili and Dimitri Khundadze, after they nominally separated from the ruling Georgian Dream.[15]
People's Power is thought to be controlled by the ruling Georgian Dream party, created with the purpose of attracting socially conservative, anti-liberal anti-Western voters while still maintaining some pro-Western ones under its own banner.[16] By 2024, Georgian Dream could still rely on People's Power for radical anti-Western narratives, but its own transformation into a dominant right-wing populist force with similar narratives was by then complete.[17]
For the 2024 Georgian parliamentary election, People's Power was absorbed back into Georgian Dream and ran as part of the Georgian Dream party list; all nine incumbent MPs of People's Power were re-elected through GD's party list. During the 2024 presidential election, Georgian Dream nominated and supported People's Power member Mikheil Kavelashvili as a candidate for the presidency.
