It should not the percentages are viewed, it cannot be rounded. Percentages only determine the number of votes. Even if one vote falls short of the required quota, the percentage will simply not be passed. Contesting the election results can only happen before the Constitutional Court. This is how constitutionalist Dr. Orlin Kolev commented to Nova News about the insufficient number of votes with which “Majesty” to cross the 4% barrier and enter the next National Assembly
All about the topic:
The early elections on October 27, 853
„No party alone can appeal to the SC. 1/5 of the deputies may appeal to the SC. “Majesty“ have to turn to some of the entities that can appeal to the SC, but that does not mean that they are obliged to do so when “Majesty” asks them for it. The president is also an option, but that is his judgment. I don't see why the president should interfere in the internal party life. Its function is different”, he thinks.
If "Majesty" stay at 3.999%, this will be the easiest cashed election?
Kolev emphasized that the entire procedure has deadlines: “From the moment the CEC announces the results, “Velichie” there is a 7-day period in which to address some of the subjects, and they, in turn, have a 15-day period to submit the request to the Constitutional Court. The question here is whether the current parliamentarians have an interest in directing such a request – this is paradoxical, because the entry of any party means cutting the mandates of those who entered.“
„If it even comes to referral to the Constitutional Court, for which the chances are minimal, this does not stop the constitution of the future 51st Parliament and the attempts to constitute a regular government,”, he also said.
The constitutionalist also commented on the situation with the two DPS and the fact that the party's legitimate chairmen are in different parliamentary groups: “The whole issue will develop within the framework of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms. MPs elected by both the DPS and the APS will have to work together. There cannot be a member of a specific party who is an MP from another coalition or another party. This will contradict the statute of the DPS, it is illogical. They need to solve this issue. This is from the internal life of the party, however, it will not affect the interests of any third party.“
As a member of the Commission for Protection against Discrimination, Kolev also commented on today's declaration by Delyan Peevski: “This is a worthy leadership position. 300,000 votes cannot accumulate in one party and be ignored. Here we are not talking about “Greatness”, for which we are talking about 29 votes, but about 300,000 votes in DPS.“
On the filling of the Constitutional Court, he emphasized: “I hope we do not end up with a caretaker government again. On November 12, the composition of the Central Committee must be changed. I don't think the National Assembly is ready for this change and appointments.“
