Mikheil Kavelashvili, the sole candidate selected by the ruling Georgian Dream party, is poised to be elected as Georgia’s president through an electoral college system, bypassing a public vote. The election occurs amidst significant political unrest, with opposition parties boycotting the process and accusing the government of curtailing democracy. Pro-EU groups have protested against the GD government’s tightening control and its decision to halt EU accession talks. The incumbent president, Salome Zourabichvili, continues to support opposition protests while the political landscape in Georgia remains highly volatile.
