Georgia's incumbent president won't stand down nearly a year after disputed election

Former Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili speaks to demonstrators of hundreds of Georgian companies as they went out into streets suspending their work during an unprecedented three-hour nationwide strike in Tbilisi, Georgia, Wednesday, Jan. 15.

Salome Zourabichvili says October 2024's parliamentary contest that saw a pro-Russia party win most of the seats was rigged by Moscow. She says she is the legitimate leader of the people of Georgia.
