The Central Election Commission has announced that the thirteen candidates who were elected in two separate constituencies and subsequently won seats in both locations must finalize their representation choice by Friday. This decision will determine which specific constituency they will officially represent within the newly formed 52nd National Assembly. The scale of the recent election was significant, with a total of 1,019 candidates running across the two constituencies—representing the maximum permissible number of participants.
Among these, the thirteen elected figures hold notable political weight, as they include the leaders from the five major coalitions and parties that secured representation in the new legislative body. These prominent elected individuals include Rumen Radev of Progressive Bulgaria, Boyko Borissov representing GERB-UDF, and Assen Vassilev and Nikolay Denkov from Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria. Additionally, Delyan Peevski of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, and Kostadin Kostadinov of Vazrazhdane, are among those who successfully navigated the electoral process in multiple areas.
The requirement for these high-profile candidates to select a single constituency underscores the complex political landscape following the early parliamentary elections held on April 19. This final determination is crucial for the formal establishment of the legislative makeup, as each elected candidate must commit to representing only one defined geographic area within the national framework.
