Parliamentary elections were held in Georgia on 5 November 1995, with a second round on 19 November.[1] The result was a victory for the Union of Citizens of Georgia, which won 108 of the 235 seats. Voter turnout was 68%

Due to its breakaway status, the elections were not held in Abkhazia, resulting in the 12 MPs elected in 1992 retaining their seats.[2]
