Observers condemn Georgia poll
International observers have issued a damning assessment of Georgia's parliamentary election.
Over 400 monitors from several European democracy watchdogs said the poll on Sunday was marred by "spectacular" voting irregularities and fell short of a number of international standards.
In particular, they said that many voters in the former Soviet republic had not been registered in time to vote and there had been delays and confusion over voter lists.
With about 50% of the votes counted, a political block supporting President Eduard Shevardnadze had a clear lead, but it appeared to be trailing behind the total number of votes taken by major opposition parties.
First official results from Georgia's central election commission showed that the pro-government bloc For a New Georgia, headed by Vazha Lordkipadnidze, had about 27%.
The opposition National Movement bloc, led by former justice minister Mikhail Saakashvili, had around 23%, with the Labour Party in third place on 15%.

Georgian president urges calm
Georgia's leader has appealed for calm as a crisis over last week's disputed elections turned violent.
In a live TV address, President Eduard Shevardnadze told the opposition he was ready for dialogue, warning that a stand-off could lead to civil war.
Earlier, two people were injured in the western town of Zugdidi after a group of up to 50 men opened fire at anti-government rally.
The opposition says last Sunday's general elections have been rigged.
Opposition supporters in the former Soviet republic - who have been calling for Mr Shevardnadze to resign - are planning a new mass rally in the capital, Tbilisi, on Saturday.
Final results have not been declared, but pro-government parties hold the lead in official interim figures.

Shevardnadze's failure to deliver
By Natalia Antelava
Tbilisi
A decade ago, the silver-haired foreign minister of the USSR and the co-architect of Mikhail Gorbachev's perestroika, brought promises of democracy and development to post-Soviet Georgia.
Ten years on, and at the place where people greeted Eduard Shevardnadze's arrival in power, thousands are asking him to step down.
It's been a decade of broken promises for Georgia, and for many here, Mr Shevardnadze is to blame.
He's a man who has failed to deliver the country out of unresolved conflicts, electricity crises, rampant poverty and corruption. Just last week, Mr Shevardnadze made another promise - that of democratic and fair parliamentary elections.

Eyewitness: Tbilisi vigil
By Natalia Antelava
Tbilisi
Saturday night was a sleepless one for many in Tbilisi.
As night fell in the Georgian capital, about 1,500 people stood in front of the parliament on Rustaveli Avenue in a kind of protest that Georgia has never seen before.
There were all kinds of them, young and old, men and women. A grey-bearded Orthodox priest, a young man in military uniform, old women wrapped up in woollen scarves, young people in bright orange shirts with Kmara student movement logos on them . . . .
The night on Rustaveli felt distinctly different from Saturday's long day of loud protests and demands for the president's resignation over a rigged parliamentary election. Yet the nocturnal vigil was a protest too, and a more powerful one perhaps.
The talk was of revolution, the mood was that of peace and determined hope.

Georgian protesters block troops
Georgian protesters are increasing pressure on President Eduard Shevardnadze after a disputed election.
On Monday, they blocked a railway line, preventing the government from bringing fresh troops to the capital Tbilisi.
Other activists have threatened to go on hunger strike after parliamentary elections just over a week ago.
Mr Shevardnadze, looking to shore up support, has visited his rival Aslan Abashidze, who is said to have promised troops if unrest worsens.
The count from last Sunday's poll has been suspended following numerous complaints about irregularities.

President backers mass in Georgia
An estimated 10,000 people have marched in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, to back President Eduard Shevardnadze.
The move follows more than two weeks of opposition-led protests in the city, after flawed elections in which results remain undeclared.
Opposition parties have been demanding Mr Shevardnadze's resignation during street protests in Tbilisi.
Tuesday's gathering by pro-Shevardnadze demonstrators was the first of its kind since the 2 November election.
Most of those attending had been brought in by bus from Black Sea area of Ajaria, where Shevardnadze ally Aslan Abashidze is regional governor.
Mr Abashidze is leader of the Revival Party, a former opponent of Mr Shevardnadze who has backed the president's attempts to face down the opposition protests.

Profile: Eduard Shevardnadze
Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze has lived many lives - as a KGB and Communist Party official, as Soviet foreign minister, and latterly as saviour of his country, which he led out of instability and civil war in the early 1990s.
But his successes and popularity of the past have turned sour.
Demonstrators on the streets of the capital Tbilisi have been demanding his resignation for weeks and there have been allegations of vote rigging and irregularities in the parliamentary elections.
The scenes of discontent are not unfamiliar.
In 2001 protesters took to the streets, following the irregularities that tainted Mr Shevardnadze's re-election in April 2000, and his failure to tackle rampant corruption or clear the cronies from his government.
Whether one of the world's longest-standing political survivors can regain control of his capital after protesters seized control of parliament remains to be seen.
Enjoy.
