Bulgaria: Two New Appeals Filed for Election Recount and Annulment
Two additional appeals for election annulment have been submitted to Bulgaria's Constitutional Court
Bulgaria’s Supreme Constitutional Court is requesting additional documents and expertise in the case of the summer general elections vote in neighboring Turkey.
The case stems from a complaint of the conservative Order, Law and Justice (RZS) party regarding numerous, alleged, irregularities and violations during the vote of Bulgarian citizens living in Turkey for the election of Members of the Bulgarian Parliament on July 5, 2009.
RZS demand the annulment of the Turkey vote results.
The magistrates are expected to rule on the case by the end of February.
Earlier Tuesday, RZS announced the rule was expected immediately. The party insists the annulment of the results is necessary and an important step in reforming the electoral system in order to end the practices of vote buying and forgery of results in some of the polls.
RZS also reiterate their demand for convening a Great General Assembly and the creation of a new Constitution.
“RZS expresses their hope the Constitutional Court will demonstrate responsibility and fairness when ruling on the case and will not allow for the secret coalition between the ruling Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) party and the opposition ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) to pressure the magistrates to decide against the annulment of the election results,” the RZS declaration reads.
The "We Want to Vote" initiative has launched a new internet site aiming at assisting all Bulgarian expats, who wish to vote in the October 23 presidential elections.
The Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has ordered the Bulgarian Ambassadors to Turkey and the US to give explanations for ‘disciplinary violations’ in the July 5 general elections.
The popular party of prime minister Boyko Borisov manages to keep and to even increase its lead ahead of the formerly ruling Socialists following their crushing defeat at July 5 general elections, a brand new survey shows.
The Bulgarian central prosecutor's office has announced that the most serious violations have been found in the Turkish polls from the Bulgarian Parliament Elections on July 5.
An inspection by the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry has found serious violations in the foreign sections during the Parliament Elections on July 5.
The Bulgarian parties are wrong spending so much money on media commercials instead of organizing meeting and see their electorate in person.
