The polling was marred with massive irregularities
TBILISI - The ruling Georgia n Dream party received more than 54% of the vote in Georgia 's parliamentary election on Saturday, the electoral commission said on Sunday, though the outcome was disputed by opposition parties.
The violations, including ballot-stuffing, bribery, voter intimidation and physical violence near polling stations, could have had an impact on the results, the groups said on Sunday. "The conduct of yesterday's election is unfortunately evidence to that effect," he told a news briefing. Georgia's four main opposition parties said they do not recognise the results, with one opposition leader calling the results "a constitutional coup". They cited two exit polls that showed the opposition winning a majority of seats in parliament.
"It is a rare case in the world that the same party achieves such success in such a difficult situation - this is a good indicator of the talent of the Georgian people," Ivanishvili told cheering supporters on Saturday night.Ivanishvili's Georgian Dream says it wants Georgia to join the EU, though Brussels says the Caucasus country's membership application is frozen over what it says is Georgian Dream's authoritarian tendencies.
Russia and Georgia fought a brief war over the rebel province of South Ossetia in 2008. Georgia was defeated.
