The Central Election Commission has announced a deadline for the 13 political figures who were simultaneously elected in two different electoral districts. These candidates must formally declare which constituency they intend to represent within the 52nd National Assembly by this Friday. The election process saw a high level of participation, with a total of 1,019 candidates running across two constituencies, which represented the maximum allowable number for the April 19 early parliamentary elections.
The 13 individuals in question are notable because they were successfully elected in both geographic areas. The group of 13 electees includes prominent leaders representing the five major coalitions and parties that secured seats in the new legislative body. These figures include Rumen Radev of Progressive Bulgaria, Boyko Borissov of GERB-UDF, and representatives from the Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria bloc, namely Assen Vassilev and Nikolay Denkov.
Additionally, the list includes Delyan Peevski from the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, and Kostadin Kostadinov from Vazrazhdane. The requirement for these individuals to choose a single representative constituency highlights a unique administrative challenge arising from their dual electoral success. The commission’s directive aims to finalize the constitutional seating arrangements, ensuring that each newly formed parliament member is officially tied to one specific electoral district for the purposes of governance and representation.
