The National Council of the BSP has decided to contest the upcoming elections in a coalition format and to continue the coalition negotiations, including how to form and the name of the coalition. The selection criteria for the people's representatives have been adopted. This was announced by the acting chairman of the BSP, Atanas Zafirov, at a briefing after the plenary session of the National Council of the party.
The chairman of the party pointed out that at the meeting they also adopted criteria and procedures for the promotion of the candidates for people's representatives. By September 6, the nomination meetings of the municipal conferences must be completed, and by September 8, the regional councils of the party must submit the draft lists, which will subsequently be finally approved by the National Council of the party, Zafirov also said.
Zafirov also stated that there is no information whether Kornelia Ninova will remain in the party.

"Including today by the behavior of the people close to Nineveh", he also stated.
At the moment, 15 parties have confirmed their desire to participate in this coalition. The BSP is in dialogue with several others, the optimistic number is 20, Zafirov also announced.
