Representatives of the Initiative Committee, which nominated Prof. Anastas Gerdzhikov and Nevyana Miteva for President and Vice President, on October 11 submitted 9,999 signatures for the registration of the candidates to the Central Election Commission.
According to the chair of the Initiative Committee Radomir Cholakov, Prof. Gerdzhikov and Nevyana Miteva will win the elections. He predicts that this will probably happen in the second round.
"People with a high academic status, with a deep knowledge of society and civilization, such as Mr. Gerdzhikov, can only contribute decisively to the normalisation of the situation in Bulgaria," Haralan Alexandrov, a member of the Initiative Committee, said.
Alexandrov also believes that it takes great courage to enter the political scene at this time.
"The president should be an arbitrator. He cannot take sides in competitions. I am fully convinced that Prof. Gerdzhikov will be in this position, the position of arbitrator - equally distant from the disputing parties, reflecting with reasoning, with wisdom and, above all, with much humanity," he said.
