Lutvi Mestan

Under no circumstances do I wish to pressure political parties because these will be some serious compromises. The most important thing is for them to not, under any circumstances, blow up the future, stated President Rumen Radev in Plovdiv when asked the question what he expects the next government to be.

As expected, Boyko Borisov (GERB) and Korneliya Ninova (BSP) will clash as leaders of the deputy lists in the 25th multi-mandate constituency in Sofia.

A similar clash is expected in Kardzhali where, most probably, DPS' list will be headed by the chairman of the movement Mustafa Karadayi, while that of the coalition Obedinenie DOST will be led by Lutvi Mestan.

DOST will support Tsetska Tsacheva at the second round of elections for president.

"Plamen Oresharski is not DPS' real candidate but merely a step in the political kazachok in the direction of Rumen Radev. Unless a different deal is reached. Because the purpose of the colleagues from DPS is to find a way to power. There is no way for them through the right-wing," stated Dost's leader Lutvi Mestan on Nova TV.

DOST will give its unconditional support to Boyko Borisov if he runs for president, announced DOST's leader Lutvi Mestan after filing over 5,000 signatures for participation in the vote for president.

Four more parties are officially entering the presidential campaign on Tuesday.

The first to register with the Central Election Commission was DOST. According to its leader Lutvi Mestan, if GERB's leader Boyko Borisov is not nominated for president, this means that he is getting ready for a third mandate as PM.
