Presidential elections were held in Georgia on 5 January 2008,[1] moved forward from autumn 2008 by President Mikheil Saakashvili after the 2007 demonstrations.[2]
A double referendum on when to hold the legislative elections and on NATO membership was held on the same date.[3]
Saakashvili was declared the winner with 53.7% of the votes, despite accusations of electoral fraud from the Georgian opposition.[4] International observers welcomed the elections as "the first genuinely competitive presidential election" in the history of Georgia,[5] and said, despite observed irregularities, the elections generally met the democratic standards.[6]
