Spasi Sofia

Once more, the election of the leader for the Sofia Municipal Council faces a postponement, creating uncertainty about the city's local governance. The decision to delay the vote until January 25 was reached during the Thursday session, with the expectation that ongoing discussions might result in a consensus on who will chair the Municipal Council.

The ongoing gridlock at the Sofia Municipal Council persists, with no successful election of a chairperson after two rounds of voting in its fifth try on Monday.

Sveta Nedelya Square in Sofia is on the verge of a significant transformation, as it gears up to become a pedestrian-friendly area.

The Sofia Municipal Council remains ensnared in a deadlock following the third unsuccessful attempt to elect its chairperson on Thursday. Boris Bonev, the candidate of "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB) and "Spasi Sofia", who previously garnered considerable support but fell short of the required votes, withdrew from the race this time.

The coalition of "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB) and "Spasi Sofia" decided not to propose a candidate for the chairmanship of the Metropolitan Municipal Council in today's session. Boris Bonev, their initial nominee who was unsuccessful twice, confirmed the coalition's collective choice to abstain from the contest.

The Sofia Municipal Council failed to elect a chairman the first time. The nominees were Boris Bonev from "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria"/"Spasi Sofia", Diana Tonova from the Bulgarian Socialist Party, Krasimir Galabov from "Vazrazhdane", Plamen Danailov from "There Is Such a People".

In a momentous ceremony, Vasil Terziev officially took the oath as the mayor of Sofia for the next four years. The swearing-in ceremony marked the beginning of a new era for the city, with Terziev emphasizing his commitment to uphold the Constitution and laws of Bulgaria while working tirelessly for the well-being of Sofia's citizens.

In the wake of a closely contested mayoral race in Sofia, Vanya Grigorova, the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) candidate, is set to challenge the election of Vasil Terziev as the city's mayor. Despite the preliminary results indicating a narrow margin of victory for Terziev, Grigorova and her team remain resolute in their quest for a more detailed examination of the electoral process.

In a press conference following his victory in the Sofia mayoral race, Vasil Terziev outlined his plans to govern with a focus on the public interest, combat corruption, and rebuild trust in the municipal government.

Data from the "Alpha Research" agency reveals the voting patterns of Anton Hekimyan's first-round supporters in the Sofia mayoral election runoff. The majority have shifted their support to Vanya Grigorova, the left-wing candidate.
