Former members of parliament and citizens of Batumi have founded a movement called Angry Batumelebi.
The members claim that they are angry at the government and ruling Georgian Dream party.
However, they say they are going to support the government anyways, because the country is in serious danger.
We are mad at the government but not because of the currency [devaluation]...but because we don’t want the candidate of the United National Movement to win the elections”, stated member of Angry Batumelebi Mamuka Zhgenti.
The movement is planning its next large meeting on November 18. Although currently they support the government, after the elections they say they will lodge a series of complaints with the government.
The runoff vote will be held no later than 2 December between the independent candidate Salome Zurabishvili (supported by the Georgian Dream) and Grigol Vashadze (the representative of National Movement party).
The Georgian Central Election Commission (CEC) has ended the counting process of votes for the 28 October presidential elections.The votes of all 3,705 polling stations have been counted and the results mean that a runoff will be held no later than 2 October between the top two candidates-Zurabishvili and Vashadze.
The presidential candidate of ten opposition parties Grigol Vashadze, who came second in the presidential race based on the current data of the Central Election Commission, says that it is no time for euphoria as the second round of the elections is still ahead.
Independent presidential candidate supported by the Georgian Dream ruling party Salome Zurabishvili says she is ready for runoffs at a briefing today.
"We received a clear message about our mistakes from our people, as well as about the expectations they have towards us regarding concrete challenges, the challenges which bother them and their families. We have seen much from the elections, we have seen that many things need to be changed in the shortest terms,” Bakhtadze said.
