CEC Results: GD Claims Sweeping Victory in All Municipalities in Partially Boycotted Race

According to preliminary official results from the Central Election Commission, with all 3,061 precincts counted nationwide, Georgian Dream has secured a sweeping victory in both proportional and mayoral races across all 64 municipalities in the October 4 local elections. The elections were partially boycotted by the opposition and had only limited independent observation.

Preliminary CEC results show that Georgian Dream won municipalities with more than 70% of the vote, with its share exceeding 80% and 90% in many constituencies. GD’s mayoral candidates ran unopposed in many constituencies. Nationwide, support for the ruling party stood at 81.68%.

Official turnout was recorded at 40.93%, lower than in the previous municipal elections. The capital saw the lowest participation, with only 31.08% of eligible voters casting their ballots in Tbilisi, where the official results predictably declared the incumbent Kakha Kaladze as the winner.

The vote took place under a repressive political and legal environment, and as the voting was still ongoing, tens of thousands gathered in downtown Tbilisi in what was possibly the largest rally since the protests started in November-December 2024 in response to Georgian Dream halting EU integration. Later in the day, tensions escalated when a group of protesters attempted to occupy the presidential palace in response to the organizers’ call. The failed attempt ended in clashes with the police, dispersal of the rally by the riot police, and the eventual arrest of organizers on coup charges.

The Georgian Dream officials argued that they had received more actual votes than in previous local elections and achieved a tally close to that of last year’s disputed parliamentary polls.

Below are the official results of the proportional and mayoral races in all 64 municipalities:
