"A newly forced center-left grouping under former President Rumen Radev, Progressive Bulgaria, is being seen as likely to win Sunday's vote, with opinion polls suggesting it could receive 35% support."
"Radev has pledged to combat what he calls the 'oligarchic governance model' in the country and has also advocated for Bulgaria to renew ties with Russia."
"Borissov, who has served three terms as prime minister, has highlighted his GERB party's record, saying it had 'fulfilled the dreams of the 1990s,' among other things by having Bulgaria join the eurozone this year."
Bulgarians are participating in an election aimed at ending a prolonged political impasse. This snap vote follows the resignation of a conservative government amid anti-corruption protests. The center-left grouping, Progressive Bulgaria, led by former President Rumen Radev, is projected to win with around 35% support. Radev has pledged to combat oligarchic governance and has a mixed stance on Russia and military aid to Ukraine. The pro-European GERB party, led by Boyko Borissov, is expected to come in second with about 20% support.
