The leaders of the Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria (CC-DB) coalition made first comments after the end of the election day on October 27.

CC-DB Co-chair Kiril Petkov thanked all the citizens who voted in the snap parliamentary elections on Sunday. 

CC-DB Co-chair Assen Vassilev also thanked all who voted for the coalition, especially the voters in the Haskovo and Plovdiv multi-member constituencies, where he was the formation’s top-of-the-list candidate. Vassilev recalled that CC-DB’s priorities for Bulgaria’s future development lie with higher incomes, better healthcare and education, and improving the anti-corruption legislation. These are CC-DB's key points for starting negotiations with the rest of the political forces on forming a regular government.

CC-DB Co-chair Atanas Atanasov noted that Bulgaria observed higher voter turnout at the October 27 elections and thanked all the people who voted. The coalition will stick to its plan, he added.

Former CC-DB PM Nikolay Denkov said that now GERB-UDF must take responsibility for forming Bulgaria’s next regular government, as they seem to have won the elections. According to him, so far GERB-UDF have never stepped up towards such actions. Denkov also thanked all the people who went out and cast their votes.
