Associated Press
Opposition Cites Georgia Election Fraud

Opposition leaders alleged Friday that Georgia's local and regional elections were riddled with fraud, but international monitors said the balloting was conducted "with general respect for fundamental freedoms."

President Mikhail Saakashvili told supporters that his United National Movement Party won "a minimum of 70 percent" across the country in voting Thursday.

Saakashvili cited exit polls reported by Georgian television, which said his party was ahead with around 56 percent of the vote, followed by the joint opposition Republican-Conservative bloc with 8.1 percent. The exit poll methodology could not be verified.

The Central Election Commission had been expected to announce preliminary results Friday but it said that it would only be releasing vote counts for certain districts and a fuller picture might not emerge for three days. It said provisional turnout among the 3.2 million registered voters was 40 percent.
