Judges from Bulgaria's Supreme Court of Cassation (VKS) and the Supreme Administrative Court (VAS) are to choose their representative at the Constitutional Court (KS) at a runoff among two candidates.
After the first round of voting, the two magistrates with the highest score were Emanuela Balevska (VKS), who was backed by 49 votes and Georgi Angelov (VAS), who received 38 votes in his favor.
A total of 169 ballots were cast at the first round for five nominees, including three magistrates from VKS (Teodora Stambolova, Emanuela Balevska, Simeon Chanachev) and two from VAS (Georgi Angelov, Veselina Teneva).
Magistrates from the two supreme courts are to nominate their representative at the Constitutional Court (KS) to replace Vladislav Slavov, whose 9-year term in office expires on October 14.
He has also been nominated for a member of the Supreme Judicial Council (VSS) from the parliamentary quota.
The 11 members of the new Supreme Judicial Council panel from the parliamentary quota are to be elected Wednesday.
