On February 17, the Georgian Parliament announced the creation of a temporary commission that will investigate the conduct of the October 2020 Parliamentary Elections and assess whether any of the alleged violations took place.
The bill to create a special commission, authored by the member of the ruling Georgian Dream party Mamuka Mdinaradze, was passed with 78 votes. The commission is created for three months, and, according to Mdinaradze, members of the opposition bloc are welcome to join the commission to clear out any questions regarding the election results as the door to participate in the committee 'remains open'.
