U.S.-based Edison Research has raised concerns over Georgia's recent parliamentary election outcomes, citing significant discrepancies between their exit poll and the officially declared results.

The electoral commission announced a victory for the ruling Georgian Dream party, registering 54% of the votes, a figure now under intense scrutiny.

The firm's exit poll, commissioned by pro-opposition channel Formula, indicated that opposition parties were poised for a majority, challenging the official narrative and suggesting possible local-level vote manipulation.
