The leader of "Save Sofia" Boris Bonev announced at a briefing that the regional political party is withdrawing its trust from the mayor of the capital, Vasil Terziev. It is also leaving the coalition with "We Continue the Change" - "Democratic Bulgaria" in the Sofia Municipality. Iliyan Pavlov, the deputy mayor of the formation responsible for transport and urban mobility, is resigning.

"The administration of Sofia does not have a clear vision and clear goals. People expected change, but they got a replacement," Bonev said and added that "the governance of the capital lacks leadership." According to him, the party's patience ran out a few days ago with the election of the new chief architect of Sofia, Bogdana Panayotova. "A dubious chief architect was appointed, who is proven to be working for over-construction, while the presented budget for 2025 completely ignores investments in the residential areas," Bonev pointed out. He promised that "Save Sofia", will continue to support policies it agrees with.

In the local elections on October 29, 2023, "Save Sofia" participated in a coalition with PP-DB. The next local elections in Bulgaria are in 2027.
