Opposition Sets Ultimatum

Davit Gamkrelidze, co-leader of the nine-party opposition bloc, said the coalition was setting an ultimatum to the Central Election Commission (CEC) to annul, as he said, falsified election results.

“CEC session is scheduled for 4pm today and we demand from the commission to annul results. Otherwise the protest rally will not disperse and supporters will join us from the provinces as well,” Davit Gamkrelidze told the protest rally.

Thousands of protesters are gathered outside the parliament.

Gamkrelidze also called on Nino Burjanadze, the chairperson of the outgoing parliament, who quit the ruling party last month, to express her position. Burjanadze is currently visiting Germany.
