Vote for Bulgaria’s 2011 ‘Personalities in the News” by Jan 15!

Our readers from around the world are invited to vote by midnight on January 15, 2011, in the annual "Personality in the News" polls of Novinite.com (Sofia News Agency) and Novinite.bg!

Your last chance to sway the vote in favor of the person(s) you deem the most deserving is this week; each user is allowed one vote every 24 hours.

According to the votes cast by you, our readers, none of the three races exhibits a certain winner for the time, with the neck-in-neck competition apparently set to continue until the very end of the voting campaign in January 2012.

The race is especially tough and exciting among the expats, with CEZ Bulgaria Chairman Petr Dokladal being in the lead, followed by M-Tel CEO Andreas Mayerhofer, Heineken-Zagorka General Manager Ruud van den Eijnden, AES Bulgaria Country Manager Peter Lithgow, and Sheraton Sofia Hotel Balkan General Manager Gerasimos Perdikaris.

Chairman of Deloitte Bulgaria Vasko Raychev is in the lead in the Bulgarian Business category, with OMV Bulgaria Manager Director Teodora Georgieva a close second. They are followed by UniCredit Bulbank CEO Levon Hampartzoumian, General Manager of HP Bulgaria Iravan Hira, and Metro Cash & Carry Bulgaria General Manager Emiliyan Abadzhiev.

The race is pretty tough among the Bulgarian political figures as well. Ex EU Commissioner and former presidential candidate Meglena Kuneva is in the lead, ahead of the Bulgarian President-elect Rosen Plevneliev. They are followed by Bulgarian EU Funds Minister Tomislav Donchev, Bulgarian Socialist Party leader and PES President Sergey Stanishev, and MEP Antonia Parvanova.
