Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • Salome Zourabichvili, Georgia's pro-west president, vows to remain the country's legitimate leader despite transitioning power to Mikheil Kavelashvili, backed by the ruling party.
  • Thousands of protesters gathered in Tbilisi to oppose Kavelashvili's inauguration, calling for a rerun of the October elections, which they allege were rigged.
  • Zourabichvili declared, “I remain the only legitimate president,” as she joined demonstrators outside the palace, highlighting her opposition to the GD party.
  • The inauguration was notably held behind closed doors in parliament, signaling potential escalation of the ongoing political crisis.
  • Protests intensified with reports of police brutality, leading to international condemnation and calls for further action against Georgia’s ruling government.
