Opposition supporters in Georgia are planning to hold a protest in the country’s capital against the official results of a weekend parliamentary election in which the governing party was declared victorious amid voting irregularities and allegations of Russian meddling.

Georgia's ruling party won nearly 54% of the vote in Saturday's parliamentary election, the electoral commission said on Sunday, as opposition parties disputed the result and vote monitors reported significant violations.

Georgia’s president says she doesn't recognize the results of this weekend’s parliamentary vote, which election officials say was won by the ruling party.
