Sofia, November 15 (BTA) - Kristian Vigenin announced his resignation from his position as Head of Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) National Election Headquarters. "We didn't achieve our goals", Vigenin said on his Facebook profile on Monday. 

He thanked his colleagues at the headquarters and everybody who casted their vote on Sunday. He also reminded his online audience that "there's more work to be done", the run-off elections for president will be held on November 21.  

"Despite yet inconclusive, results are already clear," Vigenin said. 

Final results yet to come, BSP for Bulgaria gained 10.35 per cent of the total votes in the parliamentary elections on November 14, which is around 3 per cent less than the vote they gained at the July 11 parliamentary elections. 

The clear winner in the November 14 general elections was newcomer Continue the Change, which has a comfortable lead on the formerly ruling GERB party. In the presidential vote, which was held simultaneously, current President Rumen Radev leads by a lot on his key rival, GERB-backed independent Anastas Gerdjikov, but will have to go to runoffs because the voter turnout was too low for a clear victory.
