CEC recognizes Georgia's presidential elections as valid

Georgia's Central Election Commission (CEC) has recognized the country's presidential elections as valid.

Mikheil Kavelashvili, nominated by the Georgian Dream party, is slated to win Saturday’s vote which is being put to a 300-seat electoral college rather than the people, following changes to the constitution seven years ago.

The 53-year-old is the only candidate standing in the election.
