For the first time in recent election history, the end election result leaves a party running in the election outside the National Assembly with a result of 3.999% (Velichie), 21 votes short of the electoral threshold, reads a position by the Public Council of the Central Election Commission (CEC) regarding the early election for parliament held on 27 October. The previous case that came close to this result was that of the National Front for the Salvation of Bulgaria, NFSB in 2013, which received 3.7%, but this percentage meant it fell more than 10,500 votes short of the threshold. The public council notes that this number of votes is of the order of inadvertent mistakes by the section commissions in the finalization of the tally sheets, though premeditated mistakes are not to be ruled out. Mistakes of this kind would not have been committed with machine voting, the position reads.
Today, caretaker PM Dimitar Glavchev reported that the government had coped well with the organization of the election. “48 MPs have the right to demand an annulment of the election. And the Constitutional Court has to rule whether there should be an annulment or not, depending on the evidence it will be presented with,” Dimitar Glavchev told reporters. He was adamant that all suspicions surrounding the election process should be cleared away. He stated further that he saw no reason to ask for the resignation of Interior Minister Atanas Ilkov and would not demand it.
