The members of parliament will continue their session at 10 AM on November 22, following yet another unsuccessful attempt to elect a Speaker of the National Assembly. In the last vote on Wednesday, November 20, the candidacies of Raya Nazaryan from GERB-SDS and Silvi Kirilov from There is Such a People (ITN) received the most support and reached a runoff.
