The Conservative Party of Georgia (Georgian: საქართველოს კონსერვატიული პარტია, romanized: sakartvelos k'onservat'iuli p'art'ia, SKP) is a political party, active in Georgia since 2001.[2][3][4]
Under its acting chairman Zviad Dzidziguri, the party was allied with Mikheil Saakashvili’s United National Movement until May 2004 when it switched into opposition, and with the Republican Party of Georgia formed the Democratic Front faction.
They joined other opposition parties in the 2007 anti-government demonstrations and supported a joint opposition candidate Levan Gachechiladze in the early 2008 presidential election.
From 2012 until 2019, the party was part of Georgian Dream Alliance. Georgian Dream won 2012 Election against United National Movement.
The party joined the Alliance of European Conservatives and Reformists on 1 November 2014.[5]
