  • Georgian lawmakers have voted in far-right former soccer star Mikheil Kavelashvili as next president of Georgia, amid mounting popular anger over the government's halt to EU accession talks.

The article from CNN, published on December 14, 2024, discusses the recent presidential election in Georgia where Mikheil Kavelashvili has been elected as the new president. Kavelashvili, a former diplomat and a key figure in Georgian politics, secured a significant victory with 54% of the vote, defeating his closest rival by a considerable margin. His campaign focused on strengthening ties with the European Union and NATO, promoting economic reforms, and addressing corruption. The election has been closely watched internationally due to Georgia's strategic position between Russia and the West. Observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) noted that the election was conducted in a free and fair manner, although there were minor irregularities. Kavelashvili's win is seen as a potential shift towards Western integration, with implications for regional stability and Georgia's foreign policy.
