[4] Dzhambazki was a member of the Sofia city council between 2007 and 2014 after first being elected on the ticket of GERB, though making use of the quota for citizens,[5] and then securing a seat in October 2011 as a candidate of VMRO.

[6] In November 2013, the Bulgarian Helsinki Committee notified Bulgaria's then-Chief Prosecutor Sotir Tsatsarov in relation to comments made by Dzhambazki, other VMRO members and football fans during an anti-immigrant procession in Sofia.

[7] Three years later, Dzhambazki and his party filed a motion before Tsatsarov, which sought to have the activities of the Helsinki Committee banned in Bulgaria, alleging that they had been "pressuring" and "influencing" judges through the use of seminars, which they claim led to the granting of the parole request of Jock Palfreeman.

He declared that the cancellation of the strategy was a victory for himself and his party, which he opined would continue to "fight to defend tradition, the family and Christian values" and against "multiculturalism and eurobureaocratism".

[34] On 16 February 2022, after defending the governments of Hungary and Poland in a speech at the European Parliament, Dzhambazki insulted his fellow MEP Sandro Gozi (Renew Europe) and apparently made a Nazi salute while leaving the chamber.

[41][42] In a 2019 interview, Dzhambazki announced that he had fathered a daughter, who he named Bilyana after a protagonist in a song, but did not mention who the child's mother was and stated that he did not wish to discuss his personal life further.

The breathalyzer test administered to him initially showed a result of a BAC by volume of 1,5 per mille, punishable under Bulgarian law by 1 to 3 years imprisonment, though he was not charged due to his legal immunity as an MEP.

[44] А blood test given by Dzhambazki later verified that he had consumed alcohol, but showed a lowered BAC figure to under 1,2 per mille - punishable under Bulgarian law with an administrative penalty.

Dzhambazki confessed that he had been drinking and driving that night, stating that he regretted and was embarrassed by what he dubbed his own "absolutely bad judgement, irrational and irresponsible behaviour".

The allegation was that Dzhambazki did not give a blood test to the hospital which he was ordered to visit, but instead to the Military Medical Academy, an institution subordinate to Bulgarian Minister of Defence and fellow VMRO party leader Krasimir Karakachanov.
