The coalition nominated both party founders as majoritarian candidates during the 2020 parliamentary election. Kakha Okriashvili received 23,666 votes (39.55%) in the #14 majoritarian constituency and took second place. Tsezar Chocheli was nominated in the #11 majoritarian constituency, where he received 17,134 votes (33.78%) and passed to the second round, but refused to participate; nevertheless his last name was on the ballot paper and received 2,076 (7.47%) votes in the second round.[4] Kakha Okriashvili and Tsezar Chocheli refused to enter parliament on party lists (entirely with the opposition, citing rigged elections).
