Bulgarian Socialist Party is to hold a meeting on Friday morning to discuss the request to cancel election results, the party’s leader Sergey Stanishev told Bulgarian private television TV 7.

He thinks the situation in Sofia is very apparent. According to him there is 3% difference between Yordanka Fandakova, who runs for a second term as Sofia mayor from the ruling party Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria, and the socialist nominee, Georgi Kadiev, who came in second.

Given the election irregularities I have been told about, I think election results have to be cancelled in Sofia, said Stanishev.

Regarding the other municipalities across Bulgaria, he said he would hold consultations with jurists. He said ballot papers should be counted manually to remove any suspicions
