PM sees unprecedented victory over opposition socialists in local elections

Speaking in a press conference after the October 27 2019 local elections, Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, leader of the centre-right GERB party which is a majority partner in the ruling coalition, told journalists that he saw an “unprecedented victory” over the opposition Bulgarian Socialist Party in the provisional results of the elections for local authorities.

He thanked all voters who supported the candidates from GERB and added that after the changes made to his GERB party, the results of the local elections vote were more than good.

“What is important for me is the stability in governance,” said Borissov.

“Everyone loves to talk about change, but the change comes from GERB,” Borissov said.

“We have made big changes in the party, especially in Sofia, and they have yielded results,” he said.

Borissov said that there was a lot of work to be done and he would leave the election staffs to do their work where there were second rounds of elections, “I have not interfered before,” he said.
