Georgia's prime minister rejects allegations of vote manipulation

Georgia's prime minister has welcomed a <x0-tracking” election score, rejecting accusations of vote manipulation and violence.

“Disregards occur everywhere”, Iraqli Kobakidze told from the Georgian Dream Party for the BBC's Steve Rosenberg in an interview.

Official preliminary results from Georgia's election commission gave the ruling Georgian Dream a total of 54%, despite exit polls for opposition television channels suggesting four opposition parties had won.

Georgia's pro-Western president, Salome Zourabichvili, has condemned the total “falsification of” of the vote and called on opposition supporters to gather outside parliament on Monday.
