Zhivko Todorov, the long-serving mayor of Stara Zagora and a prominent member of GERB, has announced his resignation from the party’s Executive Commission, the organization’s highest executive body. In a public statement, Todorov cited a desire to dedicate his full attention exclusively to the development of Stara Zagora. He thanked his colleagues for their collaborative efforts while stating his commitment to focusing solely on the city’s progress.
Todorov’s departure follows a period of political activity for GERB, which recorded a result of 13.38% in the snap parliamentary elections held on April 19. Shortly after the vote, Todorov participated in a press conference alongside GERB leader Boyko Borissov, where they emphasized the necessity for GERB to maintain its anti-corruption and right-wing political profile. The move comes despite Todorov having recently been re-elected to the Executive Commission.
Meanwhile, GERB’s National Assembly had unanimously confirmed Boyko Borissov’s leadership. Borissov subsequently announced a new structure, establishing a tandem involving Todorov and the Mayor of Burgas, Dimitar Nikolov, to work alongside established party structures. GERB acknowledged Todorov’s announcement via a social media post, accepting the resignation as a “personal act of responsibility.” The party commended Todorov’s contributions, noting his successful tenure as mayor in Stara Zagora.
GERB’s statement also indicated that the party had conducted an internal analysis to identify areas requiring improvement within its operations.
