The Sofia City Council will hold another vote to elect its president. This will be its fourth attempt, as the previous three have proved futile. Last week, We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria - Save Sofia, which has the largest group in the municipality, withdrew the candidacy of Boris Bonev, but that too failed to consolidate the votes.
