Orban travelled to Tbilisi for a two-day visit to offer support to his counterpart Irakli Kobakhidze – leader of the Georgian Dream ruling party.
Georgian Dream won 53.9%, compared with the 37.7% for the pro-Western opposition coalition, with almost all votes counted. The result has not yet been recognised by the EU or US.
Salome Zurabishvil, a mostly ceremonial president, told citizens to take to the streets – claiming the election had been “stolen” and accused Georgian Dream of working hand-in-hand with Russia.
However, Polish President Andrzej Duda revealed to Radio Zet that he’d been told by Zurabishvili that she had found no evidence of Moscow interfering in the elections.
