Preliminary results from Georgia’s presidential election on Sunday showed that neither of the two frontrunners was likely to win enough votes – more than 50% -  to secure victory and they would face a second round run-off vote.

Georgia’s Central Election Commission said that according to results from 13 percent of the polling stations, independent candidate Salome Zurabishvili – backed by the ruling Georgian Dream party, had secured 38,66 percent of the vote: approximately 615,000 people cast ballots for Zurabishvili.

Grigol Vashadze, backed by the United National Movement, had won 37.7% - around 600,000 voted for him.

The voter turnout was 46,74%.
