Election data shows 148 mandates distributed in Parliament, two seats shared

Preliminary data from all electoral districts and precincts provided by Georgia’s Central Election Commission indicates that the next Parliament will see a distribution of 148 mandates, with two unallocated mandates divided between the ruling Georgian Dream party and Coalition for Change that involves Ahali, Girchi – More Freedom, and Droa parties.

The ruling party will be represented by 89 MPs in the new Parliament following Saturday's vote, while five electoral subjects surpassed the five-percent threshold, leading to mandates distributed as follows:

• Coalition for Change - 19 seats
• Unity – to Save Georgia coalition, led by the United National Movement and involving Strategy Agmashenebeli parties and other political figures  - 16 seats
• Strong Georgia, involving Lelo for Georgia, For People, Citizens, and Freedom Square parties - 14 seats
• For Georgia, led by former Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia - 12 seats

The Commission has counted votes from 3,110 out of 3,111 precincts, while results from a precinct in the southern city of Marneuli were annulled following the circulation of a video that showed an individual throwing multiple ballots into a ballot box at the 69th polling station of Marneuli.

According to the preliminary results from the Commission, the ruling Georgian Dream party has secured 53.9 percent of the vote, followed by the Coalition for Change with 11 percent, Unity to Save Georgia with 10.1 percent, Strong Georgia with 8.8 percent, and Gakharia for Georgia with 7.7 percent.

The domestic opposition parties and alliances that surpassed the five-percent election threshold have dismissed the election results as “rigged” and announced their plans to reject their parliamentary mandates and withdraw their election lists.
