The President of Georgia did not recognize the election results and called for protests. The country is on the verge of revolution.

Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili said she disagrees with the results of the parliamentary elections due to large-scale fraud in favor of the ruling Georgian Dream party. Zurabishvili appealed to citizens to take to the streets in protest and express their dissatisfaction. She called these elections “Russian” and compared the situation to a hybrid war.

The President emphasized that during the election campaign the authorities used pressure, manipulation, intimidation and bribery, which led to the “confiscation of votes” of citizens. She believes that these elections are part of a major Russian special operation that threatens Georgia's European future. Zurabishvili stated that she does not consider these elections legitimate and does not recognize them.

The President announced a rally on Rustaveli Square, where she intends to unite all those dissatisfied with the election results. She noted that refusal to recognize the election results is a struggle for the country's independence. After the announcement of preliminary results, the Central Election Commission of Georgia reported that the Georgian Dream party received more than 53% of the votes, which ensured its dominance in parliament.

Despite this, opposition parties, including the Coalition for Change and the Unity-National Movement, alleged systematic violations such as ballot stuffing, manipulation and voter bribery. A number of European politicians also expressed their outrage at the election irregularities.
