The Burjanadze-Democrats was an election bloc in the republic of Georgia in 2003 during the Rose Revolution. They were led by and named after Nino Burjanadze. Other famous members of this bloc included the late Zurab Zhvania, Gigi Tsereteli, and Eldar Shengelaia.
Burjanadze now leads the Democratic Movement–United Georgia.
The party was formed as Burjanadze left the Union of Citizens of Georgia (UCG) to protest the 2003 election, claiming election fraud. With Mikheil Saakashvili's fellow opposition party, the United National Movement party, widespread protests were held including a storming of the Parliament building on 22 November 2003, preventing the launch of the parliamentary session. The protest was quickly followed by Eduard Shevardnadze's resignation.
