Bulgaria's conservative Order, Law and Justice, RZS, party announced Sunday their nomination for vice president to run along with Atanas Semov, who is the party's presidential candidate.
In addition to Polya Stancheva's nomination for vice president, RZS also announced those designated to run for mayors in regional cities.
"Out vice-presidential candidate is a professional and a strong person; her name stands for courage and openness," party leader, Yane Yanev, is quoted saying.
Stancheva has many years of experience as a journalist; she is also a former director of Bulgaria's National Radio, BNR. She is now the Chair of the Ethics Committee at the Sofia Municipal Council as representative of the ruling, center-right Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria, GERB, party.
She based the decision to run on the ticket of another party with her conviction that Bulgaria needs a new Constitution and RZS are the only political formation fighting for it.
On his part, Semov appealed to Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, to withdraw GERB's candidates for the Presidential Office on the grounds they "are surrounded by corruption and would be detrimental for Bulgaria."
RZS have candidates for mayors in all regional cities (27), except in the capital Sofia where they are endorsing the nomination of the right-wing Blue Coalition, Proshko Proshkov.
The RZS political council will function as the party's election headquarters while Yanev will be its Head.
