United Abkhazia is a political party in Abkhazia. The Party was founded on March 25, 2004, with the specific goal of presenting a single opposition candidate for the October 2004 presidential elections.

In "Iran and the Caucasus", Volume 9, Number 1, 2005 , pp. 159-186. Retrieved on July 30, 2007.]

This party entered into an alliance with the Amtsakhara movement and the Aytayra party and they named former Prime Minister Sergei Bagapsh as their joint candidate on July 20, 2004. Bagapsh won the elections by a small margin, but new elections were held because of a dispute over the results with runner up, former Prime Minister Raul Khadjimba. Bagapsh and Khadjimba agreed to run together on a national unity ticket and won the rerun election in 2005.

Artur Mikvabia, chairman of the party since it had first been created, recently announced that he would resign his post and retire from politics.
