Bulgaria's seventh general election in a little over three years saw former Prime Minister Boyko Borisov's GERB party projected to secure between 25-27% of the vote, reflecting ongoing political instability and challenges in forming coalitions.
The election results may lead to GERB winning around 74 seats in the 240-seat parliament, further complicating coalition building in a fragmented political landscape.
Despite the forecasts, the ultra-nationalist Vazrazhdane party, aligned with pro-Russian sentiments, expected to be a significant player, faced potential decline according to exit polls.
The We Continue the Change/Democratic Bulgaria coalition appears to have exceeded expectations, indicating a possible shift in public sentiment regarding EU alignment amidst Bulgaria's ongoing political turbulence.
