On 28 October 2024, protests against the 2024 Georgian parliamentary election results began in Georgia after the first official results were announced.
The protestors said that the elections, which had the ruling Georgian Dream win a majority of seats, was a fraud, and wanted a recount and a new election.
The protests continued on 17 November, when the final results were certified by the Central Election Commission of Georgia. The protests grew larger a few weeks later on 28 November, when the government announced that it would postpone the EU negotiations process until 2028.
