Anti-government demonstrators protest outside the Georgian parliament after the parliament members elected a new president, in Tbilisi on December 15, 2024. An electoral college, controlled by the ruling Georgian Dream party and which is boycotted by the opposition, elected Mikheil Kavelashvili with 224 votes as the country's next President for a five-year term. The opposition has denounced the December 14 election as "illegitimate" and said the sitting president, Salome Zurabishvili remains the country's sole legitimate leader.
