Irakli Kobakhidze (Georgian: ირაკლი კობახიძე; born 25 September 1978) is a Georgian constitutional scholar and politician who has served as the 16th Prime Minister of Georgia since February 2024.
He previously served as Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia from 2016 to 2019 and was a Member of the Georgian Parliament from 2016 to 2024. He held the post of chairman of Georgian Dream party from 2021 to 2024. Prior to joining politics, he was a professor at the Tbilisi State University.[1]
From 2020 to 2022, Kobakhidze served as vice-president of Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.[2] Kobakhidze's statements are often described as "anti-European" and "anti-American" by saying that the West is pushing Georgia into the Russo-Ukrainian War and "opening a second front" and other similar messages.[3][4][5]
