Chairman - Shalva Natelashvili Was born in 1958 February 17, Dusheti rayon, Georgia. Studied in Georgian State University on faculty of law. He continued post-graduate study in Diplomatic Academy of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of USSR. Worked in Prosecutors Office on several positions. In 1992-1999 years was the member of the Parliament of Georgia - chairman of the Judicial Committee, chairman of the "Labour" Fraction, leader of coalition "United Georgia", member of the Bureau. He is the one of the authors of Georgian Constitution. From 1995 he is the founder and the chairman of the Georgian Labour Party. Member of the World's Association of Lawyers. He is married and has two children. Shalva Natelashvili is known as the most radical oppositional political leader in the country. The Labour Party was founded in 1995.

The Party unites up to 220 thousand of members covering the different groups of population. The total amount of population is 4.4 million people (2004).

As the result of Local Elections conducted in Georgia in November 1998 GLP reached the significant results and had about 1000 representatives in the local Councils. GLP had majority members and the Chairmen in local legislative Institutions of the large cities & regions of Georgia, among them Capital Tbilisi. Also in Local elections conducted in July of 2002 got the leading place in the country according to the proportional electoral system.

During the Parliamentary period 1995-1999 Party had the fraction in it. GLP publicly showed that it is the main progressive opposition power in the country and it rapidly gained the support of population. This circumstance concerned former president Shevardnadze and his supporter Saakashvili. So, in 1999 the Party, which overcame seven percentage threshold, was left outside of the parliament despite the conclusion of Organization on Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) (see: Georgia Parliamentary elections, 31 October & 14 November 1999, Final Report. Warsaw, 7 February 2000).

On 2003 elections the Party even in conditions of falsification and oppression has received support of 12,5 percents of the voters, but in result of the violence and infringements of the Constitutional norms from Saakashvili and his political force, the Party has again appeared outside of the Parliament. The Supreme Court abolished the results of this election, when the competence belonged to the Constitutional Court. Note: Parliament of Georgia consists by only one chamber, but the elections are carried out by two ways: Party lists and single nominees in 85 constituencies, total amount of MPs is 235. These all MPs create the Parliament, without any different chambers and have the similar rights and responsibilities. The Supreme Court abolished only the authority of Party MPs and left the other, so the GLP lost 20 seats in Parliament by this way, but it has three representatives (MPs), who won the elections in three constituencies.
