The alliance managed to declare independence of Georgia on 9 April 1991. Zviad Gamsakhurdia was elected as a first-ever president of Georgia on 26 May 1991. Soon Georgia was dragged into the civil war between Pro- and Anti-Gamsakhurdia forces, which saw Zviad Gamsakhurdia forced to flee in January 1992. The Supreme Council ceased functioning and some of its members took part in the subsequent military actions. In September 1993 the Round Table—Free Georgia members gathered in Zugdidi to re-establish the Supreme Council. After the death of Zviad Gamsakhurdia and defeat in civil war the alliance dissolved.
