TBILISI:  Opposition forces in Georgia have finished their protest rally against the results of the October 26 parliamentary elections, without any incidents reported, a TASS correspondent said.

The rally organizers have declared the official part of the rally finished, with the European Union anthem being played. People are leaving the area, although some continue to congregate around the parliamentary building. Traffic along the nearby avenue is blocked. Police are still on duty.

A protest rally against the outcome of the October 26 elections to Georgia’s parliament was held in Tbilisi on Monday. The rally was called by President Salome Zourabichvili, who claims that the elections were rigged. She was supported by opposition activists.

Along with Zourabichvili, former President Georgy Margelashvili and other opposition leaders addressed the rally. The organizers have promised to announce further steps.

Georgia held its parliamentary election on Saturday, with 18 parties involved, including the ruling Georgian Dream - Democratic Georgia party, which has been in power for 12 years. According to the latest data from the country’s Central Electoral Commission, the ruling party secured 54.08% of the vote, allowing the Georgian Dream to form a government independently. Additionally, the Coalition for Change (10.92%), the Unity - National Movement (10.12%), the Strong Georgia coalition (8.78%), and the Gakharia For Georgia party (7.76%) have also won seats in parliament, while other parties failed to surpass the five-percent election threshold.

All the opposition parties refuse to recognize the election results. Moreover, the Unity - National Movement and the Coalition for Change have promised to boycott the parliament’s work. The Strong Georgia also announced its decision to join the boycott.
