Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze addressed the Georgian Dream supporters soon after the polls closed at 8 p.m. across Georgia.

GORBI’s exit polls commissioned by Imedi TV said that as of  6 p.m., the GD received 56.1%, followed by Coalition for Change – Gvaramia, Melia, Girchi, Droa – 12.6%, United National Movement – 11.6%, Strong Georgia – Lelo, for People, for Liberty – 7.0%, and Gakharia for Georgia – 4.8%.

Kobakhidze thanked the voters for their active participation, saying “The last four years have been particularly difficult, we had to overcome many challenges, and we couldn’t have achieved any success without the Georgian people standing by their elected government.”

The Prime Minister attributed the victory to voter participation, noting that “More than a million of our citizens came to the polling stations and supported peace, our country’s truly bright and European future.” He emphasized that “the Georgian people are the main authors of this victory.”

Georgia has held the parliamentary elections today under a new fully proportional system, with voters set to elect all 150 members of parliament in a single round of voting. The parties must now secure at least 5% of the total vote to gain parliamentary representation. Eighteen political parties and coalitions are vying for seats in this historic race.
