Tbilisi / 10.29.18 / Turan: The CEC of Georgia published data after counting 38% of polling stations in the presidential elections in Georgia.
None of the contenders won the required number of votes to win the first round.
Thus, the independent candidate Salome Zurabishvili received more than 38% of the vote, while Grigol Vashadze, representative of the United National Movement party gained more than 37%.
Since none of the candidates won 50% of the vote, the second round will take place.
Voter turnout in the presidential election was 46.7%, according to the Central Election Commission; 1,637,956 people took part in the voting.
Surveys at the exit of polling stations conducted on the election day did not reveal the winner either. -02D-
