Bulgaria: Borisov's conservative GERB leads in early results DW 10/28/2024
Briefly

Bulgaria's ongoing political turmoil has resulted in its seventh general election within three years, with Boyko Borisov's GERB party leading the results at 26.08%. Voter turnout hit a low at only 38%, reflecting the public's waning trust in political stability and coalitions. Despite GERB's performance, forming a viable coalition remains a challenge in a fragmented parliament.
The pro-Russian party, Vazrazhdane, although predicted to be a significant challenge in the elections, received around 13.8% of the vote. Their agenda opposes NATO and sanctions on Russia, appealing to a segment of voters disillusioned with the current administrations. Their recent visibility was boosted by passing legislation against LGBTQ 'propaganda', resonating with conservative values.
