On November 10, 1989, at a meeting of the Central Committee of the Bulgarian Communist Party, Communist leader Todor Zhivkov was ousted from the position of party secretary general. The request for his resignation was organized by Politburo member Petar Mladenov and candidate-member Andrei Lukanov.
