Strategy Aghmashenebeli (Georgian: სტრატეგია აღმაშენებელი|tr), sometimes translated as Strategy Builder (named after the King David IV of Georgia, also known as David the Builder), is a political party in Georgia founded by Giorgi Vashadze, who along with supporters left the UNM after a party conflict. The party took part in the 2016 Georgian parliamentary election in the bloc State for a People, led by Paata Burchuladze, but only obtaining 3.45% of votes, it could not overcome the barrier to enter the Parliament.
The party was originally named as New Georgia. During the 2017 Tbilisi mayoral elections, the party's candidate was its leader Giorgi Vashadze, who came sixth, obtaining 1.95 percent of the vote
During the 2018 presidential elections' campaign, New Georgia joined the largest opposition coalition Strength Is in Unity.
On 30 July 2020, New Georgia changed its name to Strategy Aghmashenebeli. Its new name refers to medieval Georgian monarch Davit Aghmashenebeli (Aghmashenebeli is a Georgia word which is translated as Builder). Ahead of the 2020 parliamentary election, the party and Law and Justice split from Strength in Unity coalition and created their own coalition, which was also named Strategy Aghmashenebeli. The coalition obtained 4 seats in the Georgian Parliament.
The party ran in 2021 local election as a member of the Third Force coalition.[3] On 11 December 2021, Strategy Aghmashenebeli officially became a full member of the ALDE Party.[4]
