The Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) party nominated Mustafa Karadayı to run for president.
For Sunday’s presidential and parliamentary elections, nearly 12,000 voting centers will be set up in the country and Bulgarian citizens living abroad, including in Turkey, will be able to vote at 775 other centers.
Hasan Azis, the MRF’s deputy chairperson and mayor of Kardzhali, a province with a dense Muslim and Turk population, called on citizens to vote wisely.
Since Azis is not allowed to speak Turkish during the campaign in accordance with Bulgaria’s election laws, he spoke to Anadolu Agency (AA) in Bulgarian.
He noted that for the first time in 32 years, a candidate of Turkish descent had been nominated for the presidency
