Georgian lawmakers approved Irakli Kobakhidze to continue as Prime Minister even as members of the opposition pressed on with a boycott in protest of last month’s parliamentary election results.
The Georgian Dream nominated Kobakhidze and others confirmed for cabinet posts today. The party’s MPs convened Parliament earlier this week for its first session after receiving 89 of 150 assembly seats in the October 26 vote.
Kobakhidze, 46, has held the position of Prime Minister since February, 2024. MPs approved a few changes to his cabinet, including backing Maka Bochorishvili as the new foreign minister and Anri Okhanashvili as the justice minister.
