Georgian Dream supporters in Tbilisi took part in a motorised rally after polling stations had closed for the parliamentary elections on Saturday.

Footage shows supporters carrying flags of Georgia and the Georgian Dream party while driving through the city's central streets.

At the time of publication, the Georgian Dream party was leading with almost 53 per cent of the votes, overtaking the opposition bloc after the Central Election Commission (CEC) has processed 70 percent of the ballots.

Earlier, Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili had congratulated the opposition on their victory 'despite attempts to falsify the elections', without waiting for the official results as rivaling polls suggested a different outcome.

Meanwhile, former prime minister and Georgian Dream founder Bidzina Ivanishvili claimed victory and praised the Georgian people.

According to the latest CEC data two million people turned out for the election, which equals 59 percent of the total number of voters. 3,044 polling stations were open throughout the country, and 67 were functioning abroad.

Factions must win at least 5 per cent, and seats in the legislature will be distributed among the parties in proportion to the number of votes cast for their lists. The political movement that comes first will present a candidate for prime minister.
