The 41-year-old Bokutsava announced that an action plan of the opposition forces will be drawn up in the next few hours.
The Georgian opposition refuses to recognize the results of Saturday’s parliamentary elections, which show a victory for the pro-Russian ruling Georgian Dream party with 70% of the votes counted.
Opposition leader Tina Bokutsava, head of the pro-European United National Movement, argued that the electoral commission “did billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili’s dirty work”.
Ivanishvili, 68, founder and honorary chairman of the pro-Russian ruling party, was quick to celebrate Georgian Dream’s victory in the election shortly after the polls closed.
The 41-year-old Bokutsava announced that an action plan of the opposition forces will be drawn up in the next few hours.
The pro-Western opposition coalition, the Coalition for Change, also said it did not recognize the results, calling them “stolen elections”. “This is a constitutional coup and an abuse of power,” said the head of the “Coalition for Change” Nikas Gvaramia at a press conference. Gwaramia alleged electoral fraud with the help of technology, but without substantiating his claim.
The turnout in yesterday’s parliamentary elections was 59%, up from 56% in the 2020 elections.
