The results of 366 polling stations drawn by lot were recounted during the legally required audit. The result remained the same in 91 percent of the polling stations checked, in the remaining cases the data had been "slightly changed".
After last Saturday's election, the electoral administration declared the ruling Georgian Dream party the winner with a majority of just under 54 percent. President Salome Zurabishvili and the pro-Western opposition do not recognize the result of the election, which was accompanied by allegations of falsification. Georgian and international observers reported numerous violations. The leadership in Tbilisi insists that the election was conducted correctly.
