A special parliamentary commission has been set up to investigate violations made during the parliamentary elections in Georgia, one of the leaders of the "Georgian Dream" Coalition Sozar Subari told reporters on Wednesday.

He said now the main thing is to complete the election process.

"Numerous violations have been recorded. Yesterday, one of the district commissions canceled the results of the elections, which were absolutely rigged. We are investigating other districts, to this end, a special parliamentary investigation commission will be set up," Subari said stressing that he and several others begin to form the commission from today.

He also said that the coalition has not decided yet who will lead the parliament, and a statement on the composition of the government will be made in the coming days.
Parliamentary elections were held in Georgia on Oct.1. Around 14 parties and two political blocs participated in the elections.

Parliamentary elections were held in Georgia on a mixed - list, majority system. Around 150 MPs must be elected - 77 on the lists (a passing barrier of five per cent) and 73 - single-seat constituencies.

Parliament will receive more authority in 2013 after amendments to the constitution take effect resulting in the president's power being reduced.
