GERB–UDF Submitted Documents to the Election Commission to Register for Participation in the Upcoming Snap Elections

The GERB-UDF coalition has submitted its documents to the Central Election Commission (CEC) to register for participation in Bulgaria’s 19 April early parliamentary elections.

Rosen Zhelyazkov of GERB-UDF said: “We have submitted 9,999 signatures – a small fraction of the 43,000 we have collected so far, but this was all we could carry with Mr Dobrev. We are entering yet another campaign in the spiral of elections we have faced in recent years with calm and confidence. Calm, because we have achieved a great deal in all the formats we have governed, and confident, because 2025 was an extremely successful year for the Bulgarian economy, for public finances, and for all the priorities that were set and delivered, just as we outlined back in January last year.”

Zhelyazkov added: “As the consuls in Ancient Rome used to say: "I have done what I could; whoever is capable, may he do better." In this campaign, we will not only highlight the successes we have achieved but also outline the projects yet to come in Bulgaria. What has been accomplished must be built upon—both in terms of the trust of international institutions, the opportunities for the Bulgarian economy, boosting competitiveness, which is our domestic task, and fulfilling the commitments we have with our partnerships and alliances.”
