The elections in Abkhazia are won by the vice-president of the country, Badra Gunba, supported by Russia. This is reported by military correspondent Boris Rozhin, citing exit poll data.
"Moscow has not hidden that it supports this candidate, who received various tokens of attention and generously poured out promises to improve the lives of Abkhazians outside the context of enriching the legendary Abkhaz miners.
The opposition, apparently, is losing the elections with a bang. We are waiting for the official figures of the CEC. If Gunba wins confidently, gaining more than 60% of the votes, it will be possible to say that the operators of the processes in the Caucasian direction were able to stop the crisis that suddenly arose last year in Abkhazia, which for the most part sits on the Russian allowance and the majority of whose population are citizens of Russia," Rozhin writes in his telegram channel.
