Members and leaders of the ruling Georgian Dream party, including Honorary Chairman Bidzina Ivanishvili and incumbent Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze, are celebrating at the party’s headquarters in Ortachala after the pro-government television channel Imedi released its commissioned exit poll results from the October 4 vote.

According to the Imedi-commissioned GORBI exit poll, Georgian Dream (No. 41) led with 76.3 percent of the vote in Tbilisi, followed by Lelo – Strong Georgia (No. 9) with 7.1 percent, Girchi (No. 36) with 6.8 percent, Conservatives for Georgia with 3.3 percent, and other parties with 6.5 percent.

“This is a truly impressive victory,” Ivanishvili said at the Georgian Dream headquarters on Gorgasali Street, thanking supporters. “This is the real result – this is what Georgia deserves, what our history deserves, what our genetics deserve.”

Meanwhile, riot police dispersed protesters on Atoneli Avenue near the presidential palace, using water cannons and tear gas after demonstrators attempted to breach barricades. The dispersal followed hours of unrest sparked by an opposition rally earlier in the day on Liberty Square.

Rally organizers at Liberty Square announced that they plan to head toward the Georgian Dream headquarters.
