Tens of thousands have taken to the streets to protest against the alleged fraud, with Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze's announcement last Thursday that Georgia would not hold EU membership talks until 2028 sparking uproar and a fresh wave of rallies.

After days of demonstrations and public resignations, Georgia's prime minister rejects a call for new elections.

Protesters rallied in Georgia’s capital for a fourth straight night on Sunday and there were signs that opposition was spreading across the country to the government’s decision to suspend talks on joining the European Union.
