54 COMPLAINTS AGAINST ELECTION RESULTS FILED AT COURT IN BULGARIA'S BLAGOEVGRAD

Administrative Court in Blagoevgrad had so far received 54 complaints, demanding results of the municipal election to be annulled.

This was announced by chairman of the court Vasilka Shalamanova, Focus news agency said.

The court would group similar complaints and treat them together, Shalamanova said. "If there would be a limit to who could file a complaint against municipal election results as announced by the election committee, the number of complaints would be much smaller," she added.

At the moment, all candidates in the elections had the right to file a complaint. "The election results for mayor for example, all those who did not make it to the second round are allowed to file a complaint," Shalamanova said.

Compared to previous elections, the number of complaints had increased manifold, she said. The cause, according to her, was the increase in number of candidates in the elections.

The Administrative Court in Blagoevgrad would decide this week in the cases against the election results for municipal councillors in Sandanski and Stroumyani, and for mayor in Cherniche and Stroumyani.

Other cases under way at the court in Blagoevgrad were those against the election results for municipal councillors in Petrich, mayors in the villages of Petrelik, Petrovo, Sandanski and Padezh.

Decisions could be appealed at the Supreme Administrative Court.
