The president of Georgia rejects the official results of the legislative elections

MADRID 27 Oct. () –

The president of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, announced this Sunday her rejection of the official results of the legislative elections held on Saturday in the country and which gave victory to the ruling party, Georgian Dream, considered pro-Russian.

The president has appeared surrounded by leaders of the opposition parties to denounce the “total fraud”, the “total theft” of the “Russian-style” elections.

“We have been witnesses and victims of a special Russian operation. They have kidnapped our electoral commission,” he added, according to the Civil.ge news portal.

For this reason, he has called on citizens to demonstrate on Monday at 7:00 p.m. on Rustaveli Avenue, next to the Parliament headquarters, to “show the world that we Georgians do not recognize the results.” “Nothing can make these elections legitimate,” he argued.

The Coalition for Change and Unity-National Movement, the two main opposition formations, have already announced that they will not participate in the new parliament.

“We are not going to give legitimacy to the theft of votes from the Georgian people. We are going to renounce our records,” explained the head of the Coalition for Change Nana Malashjia in statements to the press.

From Unidad-National Movement they have argued that “when we say that we do not recognize the results it implies that we are not going to enter Parliament”, in the words of the leader of the formation, Tina Bokuchava.

The latest data published by the Central Electoral Commission give the Georgian Dream party – considered pro-Russian – a total of 89 of the 150 seats that make up the unicameral Georgian Parliament thanks to 54.08 percent of votes. The Coalition for Change will have 18 seats, Unity-National Movement will have 17, Strong Georgia will have 14 seats and Gajaria for Georgia, 12, according to official data that is still provisional corresponding to the count of 3,100 of the 3,111 electoral districts.
