TBILISI (Reuters) - Georgia's central electoral commission said it would recount ballots at some 14% of polling stations on Tuesday after independent monitors raised concerns about the conduct of Saturday's parliamentary election.
Official results said the governing Georgian Dream party won nearly 54% of the vote, but pro-Western opposition parties and Georgia's president have said the result was rigged. Thousands of people protested on Monday night in the capital Tbilisi.
