- The young DPS beat the result of the old ones by 4,000 votes in Sofia – region, second strength is in Haskovo, Blagoevgrad, Vratsa, Pazardzhik and Vidin
The Delyan Peevski – Ahmed Dogan clash ended with the victory of “DPS – New Beginning” in the first matchup this Sunday.
Peevski’s people got 281,366 votes, and Dogan’s got 182,263. But abroad, Dogan won, taking 29,496 of his votes in Turkey. And his race with Peevski exceeded the result of the still united DPS in June by over 97,000 votes.
Besides the whole competition with Peevski, Dogan also “lost” his native Pchelarovo. In the village of Generaltoshev, no one has released a ballot for the “Alliance for Rights and Freedoms” (APS) – the formation with which he appeared for the vote. For “DPS – New beginning” there are 53 votes, seven of which are by machine.
However, Dogan was only born in Pchelarovo, his existence is connected with the village of Drandar in Suvorovo, where the APS prevails over “Novo Zacholo”. Dogan’s supporters are 52 against only 18 in favor of Peevski.
The expatriates remained loyal to the honorary chairman, converting
The alliance in the first political power outside the country
– almost every fourth vote abroad went for him. 32,607 are the ballots for APS, while “DPS – New Beginning” has twice as many – 14,332. Reports from the sections in Turkey showed that some voters voted for “New Beginning”, thinking it was the authentic DPS of Dogan. Both abroad and in our country there are voters who preferred to insure themselves by crossing out both number 8 and number 13 in the integral ballot. And their vote became invalid.
In Dubai, Peevski is supported by two voters, and Dogan by four, in Qatar, where Peevski was rumored to have been “sent” just before the elections, neither DPS has any voters.
Peevski and Dogan never came into direct conflict

In total, in the two districts in which each of them appears, Peevski collected 2,500, and Dogan – 892.
In the bastion of the party – Kardzhaliysko, where the battle was expected to be the fiercest, the list led by the mayor of the regional town Errol Mümün gathered almost 31 thousand votes and leads with 2023 before the APS.
