Exit polls in Georgia’s presidential election Sunday point to Giorgi Margvelashvili as the clear winner, with almost 67 percent of the vote.
Sitting President Mikhail Saakashvili, who has been in power for almost a decade, came in second place with 20 percent of the vote, the Associated Press reports.
Billionaire and Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili selected Margvelashvili, a former university rector who has little political experience.
