Georgian oppositionists who do not recognize the results of the October parliamentary elections are actively working to organize a European Union mission to investigate violations of the voting procedure. This was stated by Ana Dolidze, a representative of the opposition party Strong Georgia.
"We are working with members of the European Parliament to ensure that this decision is made in a timely manner. It has the means and experience to send such missions. The mission should include lawyers, as well as technology experts. They have the opportunity to arrive in the coming days if the European Parliament resolution is adopted," Dolidze said.
According to the Central Election Commission of Georgia, the ruling party Georgian Dream received almost 54% of the votes in the elections held on October 26. The votes were distributed among the opposition parties as follows: Coalition for Change – 11%, Unity – National Movement – 10%, Strong Georgia – 8.8%, Gakharia for Georgia – 7.8%. The opposition, as well as most governments of European countries and the United States, recognized the elections as falsified.
