All news on the topic: Bidzina Ivanishvili

Businessman Koka Kokolashvili maintains a low profile in Georgia but has family ties to the country’s political elite.

The Republic of Georgia is set to hold its parliamentary elections on Oct. 26. The ruling party, Georgian Dream, comes into the contest with historically low approval ratings, yet it still stands a good chance of defeating the fragmented opposition.

Ivanishvili also appears to retain a Russian company through an offshore structure, despite promising to divest from Russia.
