Рўwelve of the twenty members of the Executive Bureau of the Bulgarian Socialist Party have declared their readiness to resign in the wake of the party's defeat in the July 5 elections.
Friday's meeting of the Bureau lasted for more than five hours. It was convened in order to prepare the holding of a meeting of National Council of the BSP on Saturday, July 18.
The National Council could either affirm its confidence in the Executive Bureau headed by Bulgaria's former Prime Minister, Sergey Stanishev, or ask its members to resign after in the recent Parliamentary Elections the then still ruling BSP got only 17,7% vs. 40% for the GERB party of Sofia Mayor Boyko Borisov.
On Saturday, the BSP Bureau is going to propose to the National Council the holding of a new, 47th party congress on October 17, 2009, in order to figure out the new direction of the party in the new political environment.
The party congress will be the forum where the resignation of the party leader Sergey Stanishev, Prime Minister of Bulgaria in 2005-2009, could be demanded and discussed.
