Georgia's ruling party won last month's parliamentary vote, the poll commission said Saturday releasing final results amid allegations of fraud and Russian meddling and Western calls to investigate irregularities.
The ruling Georgian Dream party won 53.93 percent of the votes against 37.79 percent garnered by a union of four opposition alliances, the national election commission said on Saturday.
Georgia held its parliamentary elections under a fully proportional system for the first time in late October. Almost 90 percent of voters cast their ballots via electronic devices installed at the polling stations.
The Central Election Commission last month said the Georgian Dream party is leading the election based on early results but received strong protests from the country's pro-Western opposition and Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili who said she did not recognize the results and referred to the vote as a "Russian special operation."
Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has denied alleged Russian interference in Georgia's parliamentary elections, calling the claims "completely unfounded."
