Georgia PM Kvirikashvili resigns amid rift with ruling party
Georgia's Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili resigned on Wednesday citing differences with the ruling party's leader and former Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili. The 50-year-old became Prime Minister in 2015. Kvirikashvili's resignation coincided with anti-government protests in the country over the government's alleged interference in the murder trial of two teenagers killed last year.
