The Batumi Municipal Assembly (Georgian: ბათუმის საკრებულო, romanized: batumis sak'rebulo) is a representative body in the city of Batumi, Georgia. Currently consisting of 35 members; of these, 28 are proportional representatives and 7 are elected through single-member districts, representing their constituencies. During the 1990s, the city council did not function as a self-governing body and decisions in the city were made individually by authorities. At this period, the leader of the autonomous republic was Aslan Abashidze, whose authoritarian ruling ended after the Adjara’s Rose Revolution, on May 6, 2004. On October 5, 2006 the first local self-governmental election of the representative body took place.[8] The council is assembled into session regularly, to consider subject matters such as code changes, utilities, taxes, city budget, oversight of city government, and more. Batumi sakrebulo members are being elected every four years. Currently, the city council has 5 committees. The last election was held in October 2021. The current Chairperson of the Batumi City Assembly is Ramaz Jincharadze.
