The four remaining majoritarian seats were taken by opposition candidates.

Two candidates of the nine-party opposition bloc – Davit Gamkrelidze and Davit Saganelidze, both from the New Rights Party – won majoritarian MP contests in two single mandate constituencies in Tbilisi (Vake and Didube, respectively).

Candidates running on the Republican Party ticket won majoritarian contests in Kazbegi and Tsageri single-mandate constituencies.

In accordance with the law the final vote tally needs only to be signed by the CEC chairman and secretary and the consent of other members of the commission is not required.

The six members of the CEC from the opposition parties said in a joint statement that they disagreed with the results. The opposition claims that elections were rigged and demands repeat parliamentary elections.

The opposition coalition and the Labor Party have both stated that they will not take their seats in the new parliament. The Christian-Democratic Party remains undecided.

The Georgian Constitution says that the first session of the newly elected parliament should be convened no later than 20 days after the elections. The president has to convene the first session.
