Georgia’s president slams her successor’s appointment as ‘a mockery of democracy’
Zourabichvili has vowed to stay on as president after her six-year term ends on Monday, describing parliament as illegitimate and having no authority to select her successor.
Georgia’s outgoing President Salome Zourabichvili has attended an opposition rally in Tbilisi and slammed the decision by the electoral college to name former footballer Mikheil Kavelashvili as her successor “a parody”.
53-year-old Kavelashvili was the only candidate on the ballot and was chosen as Georgia’s new president by all but one of the 225 electors who showed up for the vote.
