Borisov's party wins the elections in Bulgaria, according to preliminary

Partial results in Bulgaria's snap parliamentary election show long-term leader Boyko Borisov's centre-right Citizens for the European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) party has finished with the highest share of the vote, the fourth such poll in 18 months.

Results from 99 percent of the votes counted showed on October 3 that GERB won 25.4 percent of the vote, while the centrist anti-graft party We Continue Change (PP) of former prime minister Kiril Petkov came second with 20.2 percent in the election. the fourth poorest member country of the European Union in less than two years.

The final official results, which will also count the ballots from abroad, are expected on October 5. Voter turnout on October 2 was estimated at around 30 percent.

Petkov and former finance minister Assen Vasilev, co-chairs of the PP party, accepted and declared that they will not participate in a coalition with GERB.

"It is GERB's responsibility to form a government. We promised that we would never participate in a coalition with GERB and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) and we will keep our promise,” Petkov said, referring to ethnic-Turkish support.

We recall that the Southeastern European country with nearly 7 million inhabitants has been plagued by political deadlock since 2020, when it was rocked by nationwide protests.

The last government, led by Petkov, collapsed in June after just six months when one of its coalition partners resigned. Petkov and the pro-reform PP had struggled to fulfill his promise to stamp out corruption.

Petkov has also backed Ukraine in its fight against Russia in a country traditionally friendly to Moscow and has accused the Kremlin of helping to orchestrate the fall of his government, which refused to pay for gas in rubles as demanded by Russia.

The election was characterized by a lack of political enthusiasm, with turnout at just 25 percent by 4:00 p.m. local time.
