A rally against the election results took place in Tbilisi: here's how it ended
On Monday, October 28, a rally against the results of the elections to the country's highest legislative body took place in the capital of Georgia.
The rally was called by Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili, who believes that the voting results were falsified.
During the event, which took place on the square near the Georgian parliament building, speeches were given by Georgian opposition leaders and civil activists.
After some time, it was announced that the rally was over.
Despite this, some protesters remained outside the parliament building for several hours.
However, late in the evening of October 28, TASS reported that the rally participants had completely cleared the square.
It was noted that city services began cleaning up the area where the rally was held.
It was also reported that Georgian law enforcement agencies have begun to restore traffic along Rustaveli Avenue.
Results of the parliamentary elections in Georgia
The voting took place on Saturday, October 26.
The ruling party "Georgian Dream" won. According to the Central Election Commission of Georgia, 53.9 percent of citizens who came to the polling stations cast their votes for this political force.
The party won an absolute majority of seats in parliament. This means that only Georgian Dream will form the government.
Four more parties have entered the supreme legislative body of the Transcaucasian country: Coalition for Change, Unity - National Movement, Strong Georgia and Gakharia for Georgia. None of these political forces have yet recognized the election results.
