November 29 – Even if you are not qualified to run football, you can be president – in Georgia that is.
Georgia’s ruling party has controversially picked former international and Manchester City striker Mikheil Kavelashvili as its candidate to lead the country, sparking widespread protests.
Kavelashvili, an anti-Western hard-liner, was prevented from running for president of the country’s FA next year because he has no higher education.
Despite this the 53-year-old will now likely become Georgia’s next president being all but certain to win the December 14 vote.
