Last minute reveal: Trifonov’s candidate for PM is Plamen Nikolov
The party There Is Such a People, which won the July 11 elections by less than a percent of the votes, did not reveal the name of their PM nominee until they had to receive the mandate from the president. Plamen Nikolov holds a PhD in philosophy of law and has worked as a general manager of the swimming gear brand Finnis.
Right up until early Friday afternoon (the PM nominee was due at the presidency at 5:00PM) the long time show host, singer-songwriter and producer Slavi Trifonov’s party unofficially let out some information that the PM candidate would be Petar Iliev, an associate professor of law at Sofia University. According to sources, his name was pulled at the last minute by Trifonov, as the ceremony at the presidency was approaching.
Trifonov denied the claims in a Фейсбук post:
“(..) Plamen Nikolov was chosen two weeks ago. Everything else are speculations, fiction and journalistic guesswork.”
The president handed the official mandate to the PM candidate to try and form a cabinet, which Parliament would have to pass. If it doesn’t the cycle repeats with the next party in line. No more than three attempts at forming a government could be given, if all of them fail to receive enough votes in Parliament (121 of 240 votes), the country will go through another round of snap elections.
