Georgia's Central Electoral Commission faced turmoil on Saturday as protesters gathered outside the commission's building in Tbilisi to contest the results of the country's parliamentary elections held on October 26. The ruling Georgian Dream party was declared the winner with 53.93% of the vote, a result that opposition supporters have rejected, alleging election rigging.
During the meeting to confirm the election results, a commission member from the opposition United National Movement party threw black paint at commission chairman Giorgi Kalandarishvili, causing disruption. Kalandarishvili defended the election integrity, stating that accusations of rigging were baseless.
