Transparency International Georgia (TI Georgia) assessed the funding for the 2024 parliamentary election campaign of the eight most prominent political parties, finding that Georgian Dream has outspent every single one of them
Spending more than all other parties combined, their campaign outgoings totaled 13.4 million GEL through donations since the beginning of 2024.
Concerns regarding a complex system of corruption have been raised, as many GD donors benefit from public procurement contracts and state-mandated subsidies.
Prior to the elections, political entities received donations totaling 18.8 million GEL, with 53% of the total expenses incurred by GD, primarily on advertising.
