Victory declared for ruling party in Georgian general elections

Georgia’s ruling party declared victory in a tightly covered parliamentary election Saturday, but an opposition party around an ex-president spent years in voluntary exile refused to concede failure and wanted to form new alliance management declared victory for his ruling Georgian Dream party, but it won’t be arrested in turn that a strong design by his alliance would allow it to form a “national unity” party concurrently with other opposition parties.

Georgian Dream has held a substantial majority in the 150-seat government for eight years, but its character has dwindled steadily amid the country’s financial problems.

Ivanishvili, who organised the party and made his fortune in Russia, immediately praised his members on getting the vote after all available exit polls showed his party with a strong lead.

“It needs to be emphasised that the Georgian Dream wins the polls for the third time,” he replied. “What our country needed, a team, we got it.”

“This is really a great triumph of the Georgian competitor.

The Georgian economy has been badly bruised by the COVID-!19 pandemic and is expected to shrink by 5% this year, while the currency is falling sharply.
