Georgian opposition parties do not recognize the election results. This was stated by ex-president Mikheil Saakashviliʼs party "Unity — National Movement", "Coalition for Changes" and "Strong Georgia", Echo of the Caucasus reports.
"We are outraged by what the Central Commission dared to write. The results do not reflect the will of the Georgian people. These figures contradict the historical and current elections in Georgia, we fight for every vote, we use all legal means to protect the democratic and European choice of the Georgian people. We do not intend to give anyone the opportunity to choose this option," Anna Dolidze, one of the leaders of the coalition, said at the press conference.
The leader of the "Coalition for Change" Nika Gvaramia emphasized that "Georgian Dream" is committing a constitutional coup and called the parliamentary elections stolen.
- Elections in Georgia are called historic, as the result may indicate either Georgiaʼs future integration with the European Union or rapprochement with Moscow. For the first time, they are held not according to the majoritarian system, but according to the proportional system, and this increases the oppositionʼs chance of victory.
