Dzhevdet Ibryam Chakarov is a Turkish Bulgarian politician who is a long term and current Member of the National Assembly of Bulgaria. A member of the DPS party, he also served as the Minister of Environment and Waters from 2005 to 2009.[1] Since 2024, Chakarov has been the co-leader of the DPS party alongside Delyan Peevski.[2] After the party split in two in July 2024, Chakarov became leader of the faction which later entered the Alliance for Rights and Freedoms coalition.
Prior to becoming politically active, Chakarov worked as a surgeon. He has said, “My calling is to be a doctor, I'm used to people seeking me out. I find the similarity in politics and medicine - you have to listen, to respond to the pain of the other.”[3]
