New mayoral election in Malo Konare will be held on October 18

By presidential decree of the Republic of Bulgaria, partial elections have been scheduled for the mayor of the village Malo Konare. The residents of the settlement will go to the polls on October 18 to elect a new mayor. The reason for the extraordinary vote is the termination of the powers of the current mayor Doncho Tsyrvulanov by decision of the Pazardzhik Municipal Electoral Commission on April 28.

In the grounds of its decision, the PEC - Pazardzhik states that a check in the Commercial Register, conducted on April 21 by the chairperson of the commission, showed that at that date Doncho Tsyrvulanov is registered as a sole trader and that no application for removal of this registered activity had been filed on the same date. According to the Local Government and Local Administration Act, mayors cannot engage in commercial activity or be managers of commercial companies during their terms of office.

Tsyrvulanov had an obligation, within one month from taking the oath, to terminate the activity and to notify in writing the chairperson of the municipal council and the municipal election commission. The deadline for taking these actions expired on April 12, 2026. In the coming weeks, the process of registering candidates for the post of mayor of the largest Pazardzhik village is expected to begin.

Pazardzhik anticipates developments regarding the registration and conduct of elections in Malo Konare.
