PARIS (Reuters) - Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili called on Tuesday for international pressure to force a review of parliamentary elections she said were rigged.
Official results said the governing Georgian Dream party won nearly 54% of the vote, but Zourabichvili and pro-Western opposition parties have rejected this. Thousands of people protested on Monday night in the capital Tbilisi.
