The Way of Georgia (Georgian: საქართველოს გზა, romanized: sakartvelos gza, also called The Georgian Way) was a political party in Georgia. It was registered on March 11, 2006. The party was led by former Foreign Minister and current President Salome Zourabichvili from its founding until 2010. The Way of Georgia was considered a liberal party and sought closer ties with NATO and the EU.[1]
Although Zourabichvili enjoyed high personal popularity, her party has not been able to establish itself in the political field. At the city council elections in Tbilisi on October 5, 2006, only 2.77% of the constituency voted for the party.[2] In the June 2014 Tbilisi City Assembly (Sakrebulo) elections, a bloc including the party received 2% of the vote.[3]
On June 20, 2019, the party was merged[citation needed] into a new party, For Justice, founded by[4] Eka Beselia.
