Georgia's election commission on Saturday confirmed the ruling party's parliamentary victory after a meeting disrupted by an opposition politician throwing paint at the commission chairman, Paralel.Az reports citing Reuters.

David Kirtadze, member of former president Mikheil Saakashvili's United National Movement (UNM), splashed black paint on Central Election Commission chairman, Giorgi Kalandarishvili, resulting in an eye injury, a video broadcast on local TV channels showed.

The ministry of internal affairs said it launched an investigation into the incident.

Kalandarishvili came back to the meeting with a plaster on his left eye, having signed a protocol that confirms the ruling, pro-Russian Georgian Dream party as the winner of the Oct. 26 election.

The party received 53.9% of the ballot, winning 89 seats in a 150-seat parliament, Georgian media reported.
