National Democratic Party (Georgia)

The National Democratic Party (Georgian: ეროვნულ-დემოკრატიული პარტია, romanized: erovnul-demok'rat'iuli p'art'ia) is a political party in Georgia. It was established in 1988 by Giorgi Chanturia as a radical splinter group of the Ilia Chavchavadze Society, although an earlier party with the same name also existed among the Georgian intelligentsia and in the Democratic Republic of Georgia from 1917 to 1924.[1]
