The Supreme Administrative Court rejected the appeal of the coalition around Ahmed Dogan - "Democracy, Rights and Freedoms - DPS" against the CEC's refusal to register it for participation in the elections on October 27. The decision comes just a day after the court allowed the other DPS faction - the coalition "DPS - New Beginning" of Delyan Peevski - to participate in the vote. 

The decision, which is final, states that according to the Electoral Code, a party cannot be allowed to participate in the elections as part of more than one coalition, the applications of the two coalitions were not submitted simultaneously, and the court accepts that the electronic registration of the party of Peevski was carried out before that of Dogan's.

"The DPS is only one, all the others are separatists", the chairman of the parliamentary group of DPS, Delyan Peevski, commented on the case.
