For the first time in the country’s history, the president will not be elected by popular vote but by a college of 300 delegates. Kavelashvili has been nominated as a candidate by the ruling party, "Power of the People."

Kavelashvili’s career in England was far from successful. He played only 4 Premier League matches for Manchester City and appeared in 24 more games in the Championship, scoring a total of 3 goals for the "Citizens."

After his time at Man City, Kavelashvili enjoyed a relatively successful career in Switzerland, playing for Grasshoppers, Zurich, Aarau, Luzern, and Basel. For the Georgian national team, he scored 9 goals in 46 appearances.

Reminder: The current mayor of Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi, is former AC Milan defender Kakha Kaladze.
