Updated on 19 October 2026 at 06:34: the election commission’s decisions on the elected mayors
The Polski Trambesh Municipal Election Commission declares Rosen Bozhanov Rusanov elected mayor in the first round with 1,279 valid votes. He was nominated by an initiative committee as an independent candidate, according to Decision No. 192.
In Decision No. 193, the commission declares Petranka Kirilova Marinova, nominated by BSP – United Left, elected mayor of Maslarevo in the first round with 131 valid votes.
Both decisions are dated 18 October in their headings, but their texts state 19 October at 02:00 and 02:05 respectively. The website lists publication times of 01:56 and 01:57. We note this discrepancy without interpreting it as a change in the result.
There is also a discrepancy with an earlier Trite Grada report published on 18 October at 22:05, which names Petranka Georgieva and gives her 121 votes in Maslarevo. Here we report the later published official commission decision: Petranka Kirilova Marinova, 131 votes. The discrepancy remains under review.
Election commission — Decision No. 192; Election commission — Decision No. 193; Trite Grada — earlier report with differing figures.
