Georgia's parliamentary election has sparked widespread protests and international concern after the ruling party, Georgian Dream, won by a significant margin. The opposition and President Salome Zourabichvili have alleged vote rigging, while monitors from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) reported incidents of vote-buying, voter intimidation, and ballot-stuffing. The European Union, United States, France, Germany, and NATO have all called for a full investigation into alleged irregularities.
The OSCE's conclusion that the election was not entirely free or fair has been disputed by Russia, which denies any involvement in the process. Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has accused the opposition of attempting to "shake the constitutional order" of the country.
