Georgian elections

[Georg Ebner]

The parliamentary election happened today:

They will nearly not have any threshold (1%), meaning a horribly fragmented parliament will await.
Saakashvili returned recently, what should help G.Dream.

An ExitPoll was published:

The results will be released by the Electoral Commission in some hours.

GD won outright 14/30 FPTP-seats. In the remaining 16 they came everywhere (less 1 const. in Tblisi) first and will be challenged in 11 seats by UNM, in the capital also by others: twice by "EuropeanGeorgia", once by "G.LabourP.", "Girchi", "Citizens" respectively.

[Georg Ebner]

Remarkabel, that despite the new electoral system it remained a 1.5-order: GD at 1/2, UNM at 1/4, the rest far behind (parties with 3% and less).

The TurnOut in the RunOffs is down to 26.29% (-30%).
After being kneeled by the ambassador of the EU (joined by that of the USA) UNM decided - yesterday - to participate and go into parliament.
GD's 48% was roughly in line with the ExitPolls, so despite several IrRegularities the first round was generally not rigged.

[Georg Ebner]

GD received in all 17 seats ~90%.
Meaning, that they will own 90/150 (=60%) MPs in parliament.
