Georgia’s Pro-Western opposition leaders say they will not recognize the results of the country’s parliamentary elections on October 26, claiming the pivotal vote was ‘stolen’. The country’s ruling Georgian Dream party won just under 53 percent of the vote, with around 70 percent of the precincts counted, according to the Central Election Commission’s first preliminary results. Georgia’s opposition parties received around 38 percent of the vote, according to the election commission.

Jelger @jelger_: „My first analysis of the Georgian election results is that in addition to all kinds of pre-election manipulations, such as bribery or coercion, the ruling Georgian Dream conducted a successful fear campaign, playing it safe with the population.“ https://t.co/tlBOMoKP2Y
