By bnm Gulf bureau Outgoing Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili announced she would remain in the presidential Orbeliani Palace overnight before her successor's inauguration, in a decision that could lead to violent clashes between the authorities and thousands of protestors that have filled the streets of Tbilisi in the last month.

The article from MSN discusses the political situation in Georgia where President Salome Zourabichvili has refused to vacate the presidential palace ahead of the scheduled inauguration of the new president, Irakli Kobakhidze, on December 16, 2023. Despite the constitutional requirement for the outgoing president to leave office, Zourabichvili insists on staying until the last moment, citing her commitment to the country's democratic process and her desire to ensure a smooth transition. This has led to tensions with the incoming administration, which accuses her of attempting to undermine the legitimacy of the new government. The standoff has sparked a debate about the interpretation of the Georgian constitution and the norms of presidential transitions, with some political analysts suggesting that Zourabichvili's actions might be aimed at maintaining influence or highlighting issues with the electoral process.
