Georgian parliament says president and opposition preparing for coup d'état

Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili and the Georgian opposition are preparing for a coup d'état in the country by declaring the results of parliamentary elections illegitimate, Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili said.


‘This scene was prepared in advance: to declare the results illegitimate, to come up with a technical government... all this is a coup scene they are heading towards and thus going against the constitutional order,’ Papuashvili said at a briefing, noting that Georgia will not allow such actions.


Georgia's Central Election Commission finished counting votes from all polling stations on Sunday. According to the results of ballot processing, the ruling Georgian Dream won 53.93 per cent of votes. Four opposition parties also made it into parliament with a combined 37.78 per cent. Representatives of the four opposition parties have already said they do not recognise the CEC data. Pascal Alizar, special co-ordinator of the OSCE short-term mission, said the elections in Georgia were well organised, but said there were a number of irregularities recorded by observers.
