Georgia’s Newly Appointed President

Mikheil Kavelashvili has been elected as Georgia’s new president, following the decision of a 300-seat electoral college on Saturday. In 2017, this method replaced direct presidential elections, with Kavelashvili emerging as the sole candidate, a choice made by politicians rather than the general public. Notably, Kavelashvili, a former footballer and ex-Man City striker, brings a unique background to his new role. His unexpected journey to the presidency has captured significant attention, marking a notable change in Georgia’s political landscape.
