Balgarianovinite.com Former caretaker prime minister Andrey Gurov said the decision on whether he would run for president should be made carefully and thoughtfully, rather than hastily.
“This decision takes time. It must be made carefully and thoughtfully, not hastily, and when I have something to say, I will say it,” Gurov said on Bulgarian National Radio’s Sunday talk show. He was asked when he would announce whether he would run in the November presidential election.
Gurov said this was a very responsible decision because it concerned how the country would develop in the next 10 years, and the presidential election was in fact only one step along that path.
“There are certain expectations among people. I thank everyone who has shown respect and who is trying to motivate me to join the race,” he said.
Gurov was caretaker prime minister between February and May 2026. The caretaker cabinet was dissolved after former President Rumen Radev became Prime Minister.
The incumbent President, Iliana Iotova, announced in a televised interview on July 24 that she would run in the presidential election. Her candidacy will be put forward by a nomination committee. She served as vice president under President Radev until he stepped down to run in the April 19 parliamentary elections.
