Despite the excellent campaign, GERB’s candidates in the villages of Vetren Dol (Septemvri Municipality), Iliyno (Omurtag Municipality), Rainino (Isperih Municipality) and Todorovo (Isperih Municipality) remained in lower positions.
GERB Chairman Boyko Borissov and the party’s Executive Committee congratulate GERB’s candidates in all settlements for their efforts during the election campaign. We are confident that in these settlements we will justify the trust that people have given us.
