Georgia's Pro-Western Opposition Refuses To Recognize Election Results As Ruling Party Leads

Georgia's Pro-Western opposition leaders say they will not recognize the results of the country's parliamentary elections on October 26, claiming the pivotal vote was 'stolen'. The country's ruling Georgian Dream party won just under 53 percent of the vote, with around 70 percent of the precincts counted, according to the Central Election Commission's first preliminary results. Georgia's opposition parties received around 38 percent of the vote, according to the election commission.
