In April 2012, Ivanishvili established the Georgian Dream–Democratic Georgia party with the intention to challenge the ruling United National Movement in the parliamentary election scheduled for October 2012.
The Georgian Dream coalition was composed of the Republican Party of Georgia, Our Georgia – Free Democrats, the National Forum, the Conservative Party of Georgia and the Industry Will Save Georgia party.
The head of the latter party publicly acknowledged in April 2012 that he doesn't share all of Ivanishvili's views on foreign policy, especially when it comes to joining NATO.

On 25 October 2012, he was elected as the prime minister of Georgia.
During this period, the state Universal Healthcare Program came into force (making emergency surgeries and childbirth free of charge), the reform of the system of self-governance was initiated and the project on rescuing the villages was developed.

In 2018, Ivanishvili returned to politics and was re-elected as the chairman of the Georgian Dream-Democratic Georgia party.
