Stoyan Petrov Danev (
Prime Minister
.
A legal graduate of both the
Struma River region, although it was put down and Danev, under advice from Russia, outlawed the movement. His reign was dogged by Macedonia from then until 1903 when he was removed from office due to fear of an all out Macedonian uprising, as well as his opposition to the warlike Macedonian bands who enjoyed some popular support in Bulgaria, and replaced by General Racho Petrov.[2]
Danev went on to serve in a number of moderate coalition governments and was a signatory of the
Treaty of London. When it became clear that Tsar Ferdinand did not intend honouring the treaty Danev was chosen to succeed Ivan Evstratiev Geshov as Prime Minister, although his second ministry proved brief. He was Minister of Finance from 1916 to 1920.[3]

At the age of 91 years, 183 days, Danev was the oldest Prime Minister in the history of Bulgaria.
