Led by Michael Topchiashvili · not in the polls · running for personal security for citizens

Updated

A list led by Michael Topchiashvili that runs on personal security: sentences that cannot be shortened, no leniency for minors, and a new court to try officials. It filed under the registration of Demokratura, a party that last ran in 2019, and says it has no other tie to it.

The list, who comes with them

How this list is picked. Topchiashvili chose the candidates himself. He says better-known figures he invited declined, so he picked people he trusts, none of whom has political or public experience. His mother, Makvala Khundiashvili, is among them.

Rank on the slip decides who enters the Knesset. No pollster asks about this list, so there is no seat projection to set that rank against.
