Georgia held parliamentary elections under a proportional system with a 5% threshold. According to the Central Election Commission, the ruling Georgian Dream party secured 53.93% of the vote, earning 89 parliamentary mandates but falling short of a constitutional majority.

Thousands have spent days protesting outside Georgia’s parliament to urge the country to reconsider putting its bid to join the EU on hold, which many say would allow Russia to increase its influence over the former Soviet country.
