Georgia’s postelection calm has been “shaken” by triumphant members of the Georgian Dream Coalition who are challenging “a dozen regional vote counts in hopes of securing additional parliamentary seats.”
In response to the protest, some of which turned violent, Bidzina Ivanishvili, the leader of the Georgian Dream coalition, is urging his followers “to end street protests and wait for change to come through legal means.”

Ellen Barry reports on Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili’s decision to concede defeat and declare himself an opposition politician in the parliamentary elections on Tuesday, after his party lost the Oct. 1 parliamentary elections to the Georgian Dream coalition 55.1 percent to 40.1 percent. This decision is “extraordinary” as other Georgian post-Soviet leaders have left office only after “pressure from chanting crowds and the threat of civil war.”

A voter casts her ballot in Tbilisi, Georgia.
With the ability to make informed choices and express their will at the ballot box, Georgians participated in their most competitive elections in a decade on Oct. 1 and ushered in a period that will require a consultative and participatory legislative process in a newly-pluralist parliament, an NDI observer delegation said Oct. 2 in Tbilisi.
“The responsibility now lies with the country’s political leaders to engage immediately in constructive dialogue and reconciliation,” NDI said.
