Georgia thrown into political turmoil after disputed parliamentary elections
Georgia's pro-Russia ruling party came out ahead in parliamentary elections, the electoral commission announced, as leading opposition figures called the result "fraudulent" amid accusations of ballot-stuffing and voter intimidation. The victory gives Georgian Dream enough seats to govern but falls short of the supermajority that would have allowed it to ban opposition parties.
