Mamuka Mdinaradze

Georgia's ruling party has won the country's parliamentary elections, the central election commission said on Sunday, after the opposition decried the results as fraudulent.

Brussels had warned that Oct. 26's vote, seen as a crucial test of democracy in the Caucasus country, would determine the EU-candidate's chances of joining the bloc.

A dramatic scene unfolded in the Georgian parliament as chaos erupted during discussions over a draft law on foreign agents. The altercation saw Deputy Alexander Elisashvili from the opposition party "Citizens" clash with Mamuka Mdinaradze, the leader of the parliamentary majority.
