TBILISI, Georgia — An exit poll said President Mikhail Saakashvili’s ruling party held a strong majority in Georgia’s parliamentary elections Wednesday, a result his opponents immediately challenged.
A dispute over results could set the stage for another round of political squabbling that has spilled into Tbilisi’s streets repeatedly over the past year, but a late-night opposition rally fizzled.
The election was seen as a test of the pro-Western leader’s commitment to democracy, crucial to his aim of bringing the former Soviet republic into NATO.
