Besides the city proper, the 24 districts of Sofia Municipality encompass three other towns and 34 villages.[1] Each has its own district mayor elected in a popular election.[1] The head of the Sofia Municipality is its mayor. The assembly members are chosen every four years. The current mayor of Sofia is Vassil Terziev
