The head of the National Assembly, Iva Miteva, must organize a meeting between the parties and the CEC.
–
From October to December were the 6 presidential votes. It will be the first time that deputies are elected
The Central Election Commission to clarify whether it is technically possible to hold 2-in-1 elections – presidential and parliamentary. The parties will then give a date for the vote. This is a proposal from Democratic Bulgaria, made at a parliamentary council.
Iva Miteva has been urging the political forces for such a decision for 2 weeks, and on Monday she almost ultimately repeated it to President Rumen Radev. However, the parties have not reached a consensus on a date, participants in the meeting explained.
“We had a non-committal preliminary discussion. And since questions were raised about the machines and possibly how they could be used in 2-in-1 elections, our proposal was to invite the CEC chairwoman first and clarify the technological issues, and then to assess the possibilities. This will be organized by Iva Miteva and this is how the discussion ended “, Hristo Ivanov explained for” 24 Chasa “.
According to the leader of “Yes, Bulgaria”, it is a matter of circumstances whether there will be a 2 in 1 election.
“If the ITN colleagues persist and refuse a government with a third term, we go to the polls. If so, it is difficult for me to imagine that they are not 2 in 1. It should be clear that this type of elections, presidential and parliamentary, are not united in Bulgarian history and it is very difficult to predict how they will go. Ivanov warned and reminded that this will be the third parliamentary elections in a few months, a new COVID and a wave of migrants are set.
According to Hristo Ivanov, there was a desire for a government with a third term because of this difficult situation, but as of Tuesday, “There are such people” seemed to be firmly in the “election” position.
The MRF, BSP, GERB and IBGNI explained that they will still discuss the dates for the presidential vote at meetings of their leaderships.
Here are the dates on which the presidential elections took place before the election of Radev on November 13, 2016:
