Footage taken on Tuesday shows demonstrators carrying Georgian flags and placards with images of 'Transformers' chanting outside the parliament building.
In Saturday's elections, the Georgian Dream party was victorious with 53.93 percent of the vote. Approximately two million people turned out to vote, 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 the accusation as 'nonsense'.
Opposition parties also contested the results while 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. Hungarian leader Viktor 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 and some EU countries have called for a 'full investigation' into alleged polling violations.
