Russia denies any involvement in interference with Georgian elections

Dmitry Peskov: It has become routine for many countries to rush to blame Russia for interference on any occasion.

Allegations of Russia’s interference in Georgia’s parliamentary election are completely unfounded, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated.

“We strongly reject such allegations,” he said in response to a question. “It has become routine for many countries to rush to blame Russia for interference on any occasion. However, this is not true; there was no interference, and these allegations are completely baseless,” Peskov emphasized.

Pro-EU Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili has accused Moscow of meddling in the election, saying it was part of a “Russian special operation.”

Georgia held its parliamentary election on Saturday, with 18 parties involved, including the ruling Georgian Dream – Democratic Georgia party, which has been in power for 12 years. According to the latest data from the country’s Central Election Commission, the ruling party secured 52.98% of the vote with 97.48% of ballots counted, allowing the Georgian Dream to form a government independently. Additionally, the Coalition for Change (11.2%), the Unity – National Movement (9.83%), the Strong Georgia coalition (9.02%), and the Gakharia For Georgia party (8.22%) have also entered parliament, while other parties failed to surpass the five-percent election threshold, TASS reported.
