Permanent rector following Georgi Valchev.
Resolution criteria
This market will resolve to "Yes" if a specific individual is officially elected or appointed as the next rector of Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" to succeed Professor Georgi Valchev.
Verification: The outcome will be verified via official announcements on the Sofia University website (uni-sofia.bg) or reputable Bulgarian news outlets reporting on the decision of the University's General Assembly.
Timing: If multiple candidates are nominated, the market resolves based on the official election results.
Edge Cases: If the position is filled on an interim or acting basis, the market will only resolve once a permanent rector is selected through the university's standard election procedures. If Georgi Valchev's term ends without an immediate successor, the market remains open until an official successor is named.
