The Central Election Commission has announced that thirteen specific candidates who were elected in two different parliamentary constituencies must finalize their representation choice by Friday. This directive concerns those individuals who successfully secured mandates in both areas during the recent April 19 early parliamentary elections. Overall, the election saw a high turnout for candidates, with a total of 1,019 individuals running in two constituencies—the maximum permitted number for the election cycle.
The thirteen individuals in question represent significant political figures and leaders from the major coalitions and parties that have gained representation in the incoming 52nd National Assembly. These include Rumen Radev of Progressive Bulgaria, Boyko Borissov of GERB-UDF, Assen Vassilev and Nikolay Denkov representing Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria, Delyan Peevski from the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, and Kostadin Kostadinov of Vazrazhdane. The Commission’s mandate requires these successful candidates to formally declare which single constituency they intend to represent within the new legislative body.
This procedural step is necessary to finalize the composition of the Parliament following the electoral process. The deadline for this declaration ensures that the operational structure of the 52nd National Assembly can be established without delay.
