Labor Party and New rights Party not included in the united opposition also support the rally. At the beginning of the rally, founder of Our Georgia Party, businessman Badri Patarkatsishvili was commemorated with a minute silence. Following this, leader of Conservatives Party, MP Zviad Dzidziguri said they demand fair parliamentary elections, ensuring of freedom of media and release of all political prisoners.
â€œOur Memorandum covers these demands. But the government refused to fulfill them. They think that the people have got tired and will not hold rallies. Today they will see that they are wrong,â€ he said.
Leader of Peopleâ€™s Party Koba Kukava stated that the united opposition will participate in the elections with a single list.

The rally continues without an incident. Traffic has stopped in Rustaveli avenue. Police are controlling over the public order. Tbilisi mayorâ€™s office sanctioned the rallies of the united opposition by February 25.
