Legislative elections were held in Adjara , an autonomous republic within Georgia , on October 1, 2012. Adjara elected its 21-member parliament, Supreme Council , in the region's 6th local legislative election since Georgia declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
Background
The 21-member Supreme Council of Adjara is elected for a 4-year term. Six of its members are in single-member constituencies and the remaining 15 seats are filled through proportional representation from parties which clear a 5% threshold.
The last election, held in November 2008, was won by Georgia's ruling United National Movement , which had 15 seats in the Council. The remaining 3 seats were won by the opposition Christian-Democratic Movement .
Results
The election was held simultaneously with the nationwide parliamentary election on October 1, 2012. The opposition Georgian Dream coalition, spearheaded by Bidzina Ivanishvili , received 57.66% of votes in the proportional, party-list contest; the incumbent United National Movement party, led by President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili , garnered 37.01%. Other five parties, which were running in the Adjara election, failed to clear 5% threshold. The Christian-Democratic Movement received 2.82%, the Georgian Labour Party 1.28%, and the New Rights 0.56%. The Georgian Dream candidates won in 3 out of Adjara's 6 single-mandate constituencies (Batumi , Kobuleti , and Khelvachauri ); other 3 constituencies (Keda , Khulo , and Shuakhevi ) were won by the United National Movement.
As a result, the Georgian Dream secured 13 seats and the remaining 8 seats were taken by the United National Movement .
