A Georgian dream is leading with 53 percent of the votes, against the opposition's 38.3 percent, when the votes from 70 electoral districts have been counted, according to the central election commission.
It is still unclear when the final result can be presented.
Tina Bokuchava, leader of the opposition party UNM, claims electoral fraud.
We do not recognize the falsified result in the stolen election, says Bokuchava.
Nika Gvaramia, who is the leader of the opposition party Akhali, accuses the ruling party of "a constitutional coup".
Alarm about violence
Both the ruling party and the opposition have previously claimed victory in the election, since various exit polls have shown very different results, according to Reuters.
The opposition parties have alerted about observers and voters being threatened and attacked during the election day.
Georgia's EU-friendly President Salomé Zurabisjvili stated that there have been "deeply disturbing incidents of violence" at certain polling stations. And on social media, a video has been spread, allegedly showing bundles of ballots being stuffed into a ballot box.
The opposition's challenge has so far been its fragmentation, but ahead of the election, a number of alliances have united to form a temporary coalition to stop the Georgian Dream.
Much at stake
The election has been described as a fateful election, where the result is expected to determine whether the country is governed closer to the EU or Russia.
Georgia received candidate status to the EU at the end of 2023. Since then, the Georgian Dream, which has held power since 2012, has stalled the process with a number of controversial legislative changes.
The country's so-called agent legislation came into force last summer, after months of popular protests. The law means that organizations that receive more than one-fifth of their funding from abroad must register with the authorities as organizations acting on behalf of a foreign power.
