On December 7, 2018, Aleko Elisashvili founded the NGO "Georgian Civil Movement". The co-founders of the movement were: Levan Ioseliani and Vato Surguladze. At that time Elisashvili did not rule out that the movement could later be formed as a party.[2] On August 4, 2020 Elisashvili formed the Citizens party and ran for office.[3]

In the 2020 parliamentary elections, the party won 25,508 (1.33%) votes and managed to enter parliament. Aleko Elisashvili and Levan Ioseliani were elected members of Parliament from party list.[4] the party's formal leader Elisashvili ran in the Saburtalo constituency, where he received 14,181 (19.38%) votes in the first round. In the second round, Elisashvili, along with the entire opposition, boycotted the election on the grounds of Election fraud.
