Mikheil Kavelashvili
Mikheil Kavelashvili is a Georgian politician and former professional footballer who was sworn in as the sixth president of Georgia on 29 December 2024. His election, the first to be conducted through an electoral college following constitutional changes in 2017, is being disputed by the Georgian opposition, as well as by significant parts of the Western community. He was the sole candidate for presidency for the first time in Georgia's history because of the opposition's boycott.
