Levan Khabeishvili

Levan Khabeishvili (Georgian: ლევან ხაბეიშვილი; born on May 7, 1987) is a Georgian activist and politician who has served as a Member of Parliament since 2020.

Entering the public service as a local official in 2008, he joined the ruling United National Movement from a young age, serving both in Tbilisi's local bureaucracy and the Administration of President Mikheil Saakashvili. After the latter's exit from Georgia and his own loss in a local race in 2014, he joined the New Georgia party, under which he ran a failed bid for Parliament in 2016. In 2017, he was elected to the Tbilisi City Assembly as a member of UNM, which launched him a platform from which he became one of the most vocal anti-governmental activists, often accusing the Georgian Dream-led government of corruption.

Since 2020, he has been a member of Parliament, although his term has been characterized with boycotts and low attendance. He has been characterized as a populist. He was elected as Chairman of the United National Movement in January 2023, defeating his predecessor Nika Melia, but resigned in June 2024 due to a degradation of his health following an assault by police officers during large-scale demonstrations.
