Georgia on Sunday inaugurated governing party loyalist Mikheil Kavelashvili as president despite his election being declared "illegitimate" by the outgoing leader and opposition groups.
The far-right former footballer was sworn in at a parliamentary ceremony moments after outgoing president Salome Zurabishvili said she was the "only legitimate president" and vowed to fight on against the Georgian Dream party that controls parliament.
