Georgian Election Under Scrutiny: Allegations of Vote Rigging Emerge

Georgia's Prosecutor's Office is investigating alleged vote rigging in the recent parliamentary elections won by the ruling party. The opposition claims the investigation is not independent due to political influence. Observers reported multiple election violations. The U.S. and EU demand a full, transparent investigation.

The Georgian Prosecutor's Office has initiated a probe into alleged vote rigging following last weekend's parliamentary election results, which favored the ruling party.

The opposition objects to the investigation's independence, citing political influence, as observers reported irregularities, including coercion and vote-buying.

The U.S. and EU are calling for a thorough and transparent investigation into these allegations to ensure electoral integrity.
