Nadezhda Yordanova: 17,000 are the invalid ballots in Sofia

"5,500 votes is the quota for a municipal councilor, that is, three municipal councilors disappeared into thin air because, unfortunately, the Central Electoral Commission did not resist the political pressure".

This was stated by Nadezhda Yordanova, an MP from WCC-DB, on BNT on Tuesday morning. 22,000 ballots are wit the choice "I do not support anyone", she added.

According to Nadezhda Yordanova, the CEC should not be formed on a quota basis according to who has how many deputies.

"The CEC should be a truly independent body, where professionalism comes to the fore, and not obedience to one or another political force. The path to this is clear - amendments to the Electoral Code are necessary, and why not a new Electoral Code". commented Yordanova.

According to her, yesterday's decision of the Supreme Court is a step in the right direction and restores confidence in the electoral process.
