The common head of Sofia Municipality and all the 38 settlements is the [[List of mayors of Sofia|mayor of Sofia]].<ref name="District Mayors"/> The mayor [[Vasil Terziev]] is serving his first term, having won the [[2023 Sofia mayoral election|2023 election]] as the nominee of the [[PP-DB]] coalition and the local [[Spasi Sofia|Save Sofia]] party. After winning the first round of the election without receiving the majority of votes, Terziev entered a tight runoff against [[Bulgarian Socialist Party|BSP]] candidate [[Vanya Grigorova]], which he won with 175,044 votes, compared to Grigorova’s 170,258.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://results.cik.bg/mi2023/tur1/rezultati/2246.html | title=Резултати :: Местни избори 29 октомври 2023 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://results.cik.bg/mi2023/tur2/rezultati/2246.html | title=Резултати :: Местни избори 29 октомври 2023 }}</ref>
