Parliamentary elections were held in Georgia on 1 October 2012. The opposition Georgian Dream coalition of billionaire businessman Bidzina Ivanishvili won a majority of the seats. President Mikheil Saakashvili conceded his party's defeat.[2]

The elections were held in accordance with a reformed electoral system agreed upon by the government and several opposition parties in 2011.[3] 77 of the 150 seats were allocated proportionally to party lists, the remaining 73 to the winners in single-member constituencies.[4] The new parliament was relocated from the capital of Tbilisi to the country's second largest city of Kutaisi later, in 2012.[3] A new government was also formed following the 2013 presidential election as envisaged by the 2010 constitutional amendments.[5] South Ossetia and Abkhazia did not vote.
