Radio Liberty: “Georgians Vote In Second-Round Parliamentary Elections”

Radio Liberty is publishing an article about the second round of Georgia’s Parliamentary Elections.

"Georgians have gone to the polls on October 30 for a second round of parliamentary elections to decide the outcome of one-third of the seats in the 150-seat legislature,” the article reads.

The media outlet stresses ruling Georgian Dream party took 67 of the parliament’s seats in voting three weeks ago, but no candidate received a majority of first-round votes for 50 other seats.

The article says that Georgian Dream was running against the main opposition United National Movement (UNM), founded by self-exiled former President Mikheil Saakashvili.

"Both Georgian Dream and its main opponent, the UNM, are pro-Western, seeking better relations with NATO and the EU,” the article reads.
