Political parties also need to recruit youth to be candidates and serve as the future of their party - Vera Gogokhia @NEDemocracy #NEDEvents
Civil society can use #Georgia 2020 parliamentary elections as an opportunity to discuss the importance of the party system. For example, organize forums for youth and political parties to discuss issues, and encourage rural youth to participate in local governance #NEDEvents https://t.co/8KatDLgMc3
Youth in #Georgia are politically engaged and active, but not through political parties. Partially a legacy of post-communism, but also because of shortcomings of the Rose Revolution - Vera Gogokhia #NEDEvents
Political parties in #Georgia have historically been very weak: trends of dominant leadership overshadowing political platforms; tendency for parties to collapse and split; weak communication within parties and with the public - Vera Gogokhia #NEDEvents
#Georgia 2018 presidential campaign wasn’t run based on party platforms around citizen concerns, but on fear and negative campaigning against rival candidates - Vera Gogokhia #NEDEvents https://t.co/9B0lxk0JH9
Interesting aspect of Georgia’s recent presidential election: president-elect Zurabishvili ran as an independent, without party affiliation but with support of ruling Georgian Dream party, and facing no GD party challenger - Vera Gogokhia #NEDEvents
