The Electoral College elected Mikheil Kavelashvili as the president of Georgia on Saturday, announced the Central Election Commission (CEC). The 53-year-old politician and former soccer player was the only candidate put forward by the ruling Georgian Dream party.

The article from MSN discusses the recent election of Salome Zourabichvili as the President of Georgia, who ran as an independent candidate but was supported by the ruling Georgian Dream party. Her election comes amidst significant political tension and public protests, particularly over a controversial "foreign agents" law, which critics argue mirrors oppressive Russian legislation and could stifle civil society and media freedom. Despite these controversies, Zourabichvili's victory is seen as a move towards stability, although her presidency will likely face challenges due to the ongoing political and social unrest. The protests have been fueled by concerns over democratic backsliding and fears that Georgia might be moving away from its pro-Western path towards closer ties with Russia.
