Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was seen leaving his hotel in Tbilisi on Tuesday.

Footage shows the head of the Hungarian government getting into a car and then his motorcade driving away.

Earlier in the day, Orban met with Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze and held a joint briefing. The Hungarian PM congratulated Kobakhidze on his party's parliamentary election win, calling it 'free and democratic', and praised the nation for "not allowing your country to become a second Ukraine".

He added that he thought there was only a row over the vote because 'the Conservatives won'. Kobakhidze thanked the PM for supporting his country's 'sovereignty and territorial integrity'.

In Saturday's elections, the Georgian Dream party won with 53.93 percent of the vote. Approximately two million people took part, representing a 59 percent turnout.

Pro-EU President Salome Zurabishvili said that she did not 'recognise' the result and called for protests, suggesting there had been Russian interference. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova described that as 'nonsense'.

Representatives of the United National Movement and the Coalition for Change opposition parties have also contested the results. Former Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili claimed that the election was 'completely rigged and stolen'.

Kobakhidze described the opposition's actions as a 'hopeless attempt' to save face. Orban congratulated Kobakhidze on his 'overwhelming victory', while Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev also sent a congratulatory letter to the prime minister, calling the Georgian Dream party a 'leading political force'. Meanwhile the US called for a 'full investigation' by observers.
