The pro-Russian ruling party Georgian Dream won the parliamentary elections in Georgia with 54 percent of the vote, according to the national electoral authority.

The opposition, consisting of four parties, received a total of 38 percent of the vote.

– We do not accept the results of the stolen election, announced Tina Bokuchava, leader of the largest opposition party, when the election results came in.

Despite the opposition parties' accusations of fraud, the OSCE has not questioned the reliability of the election results. However, there has been criticism of the government for having created obstacles for the opposition in the campaign. The opposition claims, however, that it is a matter of cheating with the vote count.
