Bulgarian Socialist Party endorses Iliana Yotova for president

The Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) has unanimously endorsed Iliana Yotova as its candidate for the upcoming presidential election. During a meeting of the party's National Council, the decision was passed without any votes against or abstentions.

BSP Chairman Krum Zarkov stated that the party is establishing a national election headquarters and strengthening its Executive Bureau to support Yotova's campaign. The party has also formed a contact group to coordinate with Yotova's team. Zarkov emphasized that Yotova has proven herself as a capable head of state and noted that the party trusts her political experience to select a balanced vice-presidential candidate.

In a letter addressed to the Bulgarian Socialists, Yotova expressed her gratitude for their trust, describing the decision as both a significant political act and an exceptional personal responsibility. She emphasized that her candidacy is rooted in her political history and that she intends to remain independent by being honest about her origins. Yotova announced that the name of her vice-presidential candidate will be revealed next week, and the names of the members of her initiative committee will be announced on September 8.
