Mikhail Kavelashvili, a former Manchester City footballer, has been elected as the new president of Georgia, with over 200 MPs backing his candidacy.
This marks a significant shift as Georgia's presidential elections have traditionally been held by popular vote.
However, Kavelashvili’s appointment has sparked protests from the opposition, accusing the ruling party of undermining democracy.
As Kavelashvili steps into office, the country faces growing tension between pro-EU opposition and the ruling Georgian Dream party, further fueling political unrest.
Will Kavelashvili’s presidency bring stability or deepen the divide in Georgia?

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has expressed his readiness to engage in further dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite finding previous talks “frustrating.” Scholz, who had a phone conversation with Putin for the first time in nearly a year, reiterated Germany’s strong support for Ukraine and called for peace. However, the chancellor described the call as frustrating, as Putin continued to stand firm on his position regarding the war. Scholz emphasized that any future conversations would likely involve repeating Germany's demands. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Scholz’s willingness to engage with Putin, warning that it could undermine Western efforts to isolate Russia. This comes as Scholz’s leadership faces increasing pressure, following the collapse of his coalition government, with a confidence vote scheduled in the German parliament next week.
