The Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, David Usupashvili, noted that “stemming from the electoral system and existing balance between the political forces,” the second round of elections will possibly be held in many majority constituencies, since none of the candidates will be able to win 51 percent of votes in the first round. Usupashvili also noted that “the political composition of the new parliament” will not be clear immediately after the voting on Saturday. The results will be clear after the second round in majority constituencies.
