May 19 (BTA) - The caretaker Government Wednesday adopted
  a decision relieving of their posts all regional governors and
  appointing new replacements, Cabinet's spokesman Anton Koutev
 said here Wednesday. The new appointees are to assume their 
posts at 9 am on Thursday, Koutev told journalists after 
Cabinet's regular meeting.

He said the move is intended to guarantee fair elections and to
reduce vote buying and corporate voting.

The spokesman said that four of the regional governors offices
have acting heads who are hitherto deputy regional governors.

The new regional governors will be presented in the building of
the Council of Ministers after a couple of days. The
government's web portal was meanwhile updated with their CVs and
