LIVE: Vanya Grigorova’s staff will challenge Vasil Terziev’s election as mayor of Sofia – Around the world and in our country

“Hope remains alive and freedom is at hand – from 3,000 to 5,000 votes. I will be the first to congratulate Mr. Terziev if and when the court decides that these results and the way they were achieved are lawful.

The data, if true, shows that we have a double increase between the first and second rounds. The actual growth is probably even higher. In the first round, we managed to fight one coalition in the assembly, we almost had to fight the other part of the assembly. All the power, financial, managerial, including technical resources available to PP-DB and GERB-SDS were harnessed against us.

However, we lead in 13 of the 24 districts of Sofia. These are practically all large residential areas, with the exception of some parts of Mladost. We have given hope to many people that Sofia can be different and we will fight for every vote until the end, because for us every Sofian is important,” Vanya Grigorova said.

“For us, the elections are not over. We are currently checking section by section, checking protocol by protocol, counting vote by vote. The support we received from the people of Sofia obliges us to do this. And I can already tell you that we have enough reasons to to challenge the final result of the election and we will do it according to all the rules. We will not allow the victory to be stolen from us,” said Ivan Takov, chairman of the BSP – Sofia.
