Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili has demanded that the ruling party set a date for new parliamentary elections.
She called on the Georgian Dream party to set a date for new elections before December 29.
The current president's term is expiring and she is awaiting a response from parliament, according to an article in NewsGeorgia .
Zurabishvili proposed to decide on the date of new elections in Georgia by December 29.
The President proposes holding early parliamentary elections before the end of her term.
She made this speech to protesters from the presidential palace.
Zurabishvili demanded that the ruling party set a date for new elections despite the fact that parliament chose Kavelashvili as a candidate for the post of head of state.
Last week, for the first time, the president was elected not by citizens, but by a 300-member panel of parliament.
In response to the actions of the deputies, Georgia was engulfed in mass protests.
Zurabishvili refused to recognize the parliament’s decision and resign from her post until the parliament was legally re-elected.
