Georgia is electing its fifth president on Sunday and for the first time in the Georgian history a female candidate has a real chance to take the post.
Few days before the elections presidential candidates Salome Zurabishvili, David Bakradze and Grigol Vashadze have emphasised the priorities and goals they would like to achieve in case of victory.
The Georgian Dream ruling party has provided a survey which says that their supported independent presidential candidate Salome Zourabichvili will win the October 28 presidential elections in the first round.
Voter turnout for the presidential elections in Georgia was at 15.95% by 12 p.m., the Central Election Commission (CEC) reports.
The ruling Georgian Dream-supported independent candidate Salome Zurabishvili has cast her vote at polling station No. 3 in Krtsanisi election district, in central Tbilisi, and said that had voted for a peaceful, united and democratic Georgia.
Georgians are heading to the polls today to decide who will be the country’s fifth president. The president will be elected to a six-year term: this is also the last time the president will be elected by direct vote.
Two opposition parties in Georgia, the United National Movement (UNM) and European Georgia have made claims of election fabrication despite the fact that domestic and international observers say that the elections are taking place in a largely peaceful environment.
Voter turnout in the second round of Georgia’s presidential elections is 1.11 per cent higher at 10 a.m. than it was at the same time during the first round of elections held on 28 October 2018.
