The Central Election Commission has announced that the thirteen candidates who were elected in two separate constituencies and stood in both are required to determine their sole representative constituency for the 52nd National Assembly by Friday. This directive addresses a specific procedural issue arising from the recent electoral process. The early parliamentary elections held on April 19 saw a high turnout of candidates, with a total of 1,019 individuals participating across the available constituencies, reaching the maximum permissible number.
The thirteen individuals in question represent the leadership figures from the five coalitions and political parties that secured seats in the new legislature. These leaders 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 requirement for these elected members to choose a single constituency is necessary to finalize their official representation within the structure of the National Assembly.
This decision will clarify their mandate and voting base moving forward. The Commission’s announcement underscores the need for administrative finality following the conclusion of the competitive electoral period.
