Following the ruling, the proceedings will move to the substantive review stage.

The hearing of the lawsuit began at the Constitutional Court on October 21. To date, the Court has rejected all motions submitted by representatives of opposition parties. The case is being heard by the Plenum, composed of seven Constitutional Court judges.

The lawsuit submitted to the Constitutional Court bears the signatures of 88 MPs. Based on their petition, the Court is considering declaring the following five political parties unconstitutional: Unity - National Movement; Coalition for Change - Gvaramia, Melia, Girchi, Droa; Strong Georgia - Lelo, For the People, For Freedom!; the Federalist Party; and For Georgia.

The constitutional lawsuit is accompanied by the conclusions of a temporary investigative commission established in the 11th convocation of Parliament.
