New Extraordinary Elections for Mayor of the Largest Village in Pazardzhik – Molo Konare

New extraordinary elections for the mayor of the largest Pazardzhik village – Molo Konare – are expected in the near future. The reason is trivial, but entirely lawful. The elected mayor in March, Doncho Tsurvanov, failed to cancel his registration as a sole trader within the legally prescribed one-month period – Sole Trader "Cybertech – Doncho Tsurvanov". This serves as grounds for the premature termination of his mandate.

On April 14, 2026, Dimitrinka Peeva – the spouse of Yordan Peev, who lost the mayoral runoff in the local elections – filed an official complaint with the City Council in Pazardzhik. The complaint points out that Mayor Doncho Borisov Tsurvanov maintains active registration as a sole trader, which contradicts the Local Self-Government and Administration Act.

According to the law, a mayor's mandate is prematurely terminated if, within one month of taking office, no action is taken to cease commercial activity. In her complaint, Peeva urges the head of the City Council in Pazardzhik, Desislava Todorova, to notify the Municipal Election Commission, which should take steps to terminate the mayor's mandate.

If this happens, Tsurvanov will have the option to appeal the decision before the Administrative Court. Past practice shows that the court usually does not accept arguments such as "lack of actual commercial activity" or "forgotten registration." Such arguments do not change the conclusion of incompatibility between the mayoral office and commercial activity, which in 99% of cases leads to the scheduling of new elections.
