Eighth attempt: Deputies will again try to elect a chairman  - 1

For the eighth time, deputies will try to elect a chairman of the 51st National Assembly , BNT reported. The first session of the Parliament will resume at 11:00 a.m.

Yesterday, there was a runoff again between Raya Nazaryan and Silvi Kirilov. Nazaryan received support from 69 deputies, 159 were against, and 10 abstained. “For” 118 MPs voted for Kirilov, 104 voted against, and 17 abstained. The candidate of "There is such a people" remained one step away from the presidency, but the compromise of "Democratic Bulgaria" was not enough. This led to new tensions.

"Continuing the Change" expelled Daniel Laurer from the party and demanded the resignation of Yavor Bozhankov because they did not support Silvi Kirilov for chairman and voted respectively Laurer - "abstained" and Bozhankov - "against". Their 2 votes would have been enough for the 51st Parliament to have a Speaker. Nadezhda Yordanova also voted "against", but in her words - because of confusion. So voting continues today.
