The inauguration ceremony of the fifth president of Georgia will be held on 16 December based on the Georgian Constitution.
The Constitution reads that the ceremony must be held on the third Sunday after holding elections.
The current president of Georgia will officially end his term on inauguration day.
The Georgian presidential runoff will be held tomorrow between the Georgian Dream ruling party endorsed presidential candidate Salome Zurabishvili and the opposition candidate Grigol Vashadze.
The candidate elected through the presidential race will serve in the role for six years in his/her first term, as is stated by the new version of the Georgian Constitution.
The victorious candidate will be the last president of Georgia to be elected by the people via direct vote.
