The bloody dictator Ivanishvili continues to unilaterally appoint officials, ignoring the will of the Georgian people. Presidential elections were held in Georgia. Instead of a nationwide vote, a single candidate, who had no competition, was elected by the parliament. The incumbent president, Salome Zurabishvili, and the opposition do not recognize the election results.

Presidential elections were held in Georgia, boycotted by the opposition. For the first time, the elections took place in the parliament building in Tbilisi. They were conducted under a new system — not by nationwide voting but through an electoral college, where the majority belongs to the ruling Georgian Dream party. The college consists of 300 members: all 150 parliament deputies, deputies of the Supreme Councils of Adjara and Abkhazia (21 and 20, respectively), and 109 delegates from municipal councils.

Georgian Dream holds 211 electoral votes, or 70.3%. This is sufficient both to conduct the vote and to elect the president. The Central Election Commission declared the elections valid. Four opposition parties, which entered the parliament based on election results but refused to take their mandates, are boycotting the electoral college sessions. They stated they would not recognize a president elected by the college.

There was only one candidate in these so-called elections. Georgian Dream nominated former footballer Mikheil Kavelashvili for the post. As a three-term parliament deputy, he has repeatedly voiced anti-Western rhetoric. Specifically, Kavelashvili claimed that a "global party of war" operates in the U.S. and the EU, seeking to open a second front in Georgia and drag the country into a new war with Russia.

Kavelashvili is currently 53 years old, and there is no information about his education.
For the first time, a candidate without higher education has been nominated for the presidency of the country. A protest called "Show Your Diploma!" is taking place in front of the parliament building, with people playing football on the street.

Congratulations on Kavelashvili's so-called victory in the parliamentary elections were received only from the pro-Russian presidents of Serbia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, and the Prime Minister of Armenia.
