The Central Election Commission has announced that the thirteen candidates who were elected in two separate constituencies must finalize their representation choice by Friday. This decision will determine which geographical area they will officially represent within the 52nd National Assembly. The election cycle featured a high number of participants, with a total of 1,019 candidates running across two constituencies—representing the maximum permissible number of entries.
The focus now shifts to these thirteen prominent figures, who represent the leadership of the various coalitions and parties that secured seats in the new legislature. Among these thirteen individuals are key political figures, including Rumen Radev, representing Progressive Bulgaria; Boyko Borissov from GERB-UDF; Assen Vassilev and Nikolay Denkov from Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria; Delyan Peevski of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms; and Kostadin Kostadinov of Vazrazhdane. The requirement for these elected officials to choose a single constituency underscores the administrative complexity following the recent parliamentary elections held on April 19.
By setting this deadline, the commission ensures that the composition of the National Assembly is formally established. The mandate for these leaders to select one constituency is crucial for the smooth transition of governmental operations and the proper functioning of the new legislative body.
