Before the start of a ceremony in Sofia for presenting the "Manager of the Year" awards, President Rumen Radev announced that he will convene the 51st National Assembly on November 11. 

Asked whether he would approach the Constitutional Court about the legitimacy of the elections because of the numerous violations that the parties report, Radev replied: "My actions will depend on the actions of the parties in the National Assembly." He refused to comment on the political declarations and the proposal for a cordon sanitaire around Delyan Peevski and his "DPS - New Beginning" party. "I would not comment on the political declarations of the parties, but I would support any effort in the direction of strengthening parliamentarism and democracy." The president also criticized the work of the interior ministry in combating vote buying.
