An exit poll in Bulgaria suggested Sunday that the centre-right GERB party of ex-premier Boyko Borissov, a party blamed for presiding over years of corruption, will be the likely winner of Bulgaria's parliamentary election.
Kiril Petkov, leader of "We Continue the Change," walks near Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Sofia, Bulgaria, after conceding defeat late on Oct. 2, 2022. An exit poll in Bulgaria suggested Sunday that the centre-right GERB party of ex-premier Boyko Borissov, a party blamed for presiding over years of corruption, will be the likely winner of Bulgaria’s parliamentary election.
The European Union nation’s fourth election in 18 months was marked by a raging war nearby, political instability and economic hardships in the bloc’s poorest member. A low turnout reflected voter apathy.“We lost the election, albeit by a small margin, and now GERB has the responsibility to form a coalition and govern the country,” he said.
The deputy chief of the European Council on Foreign Relations, Vessela Cherneva, said the predicted result could produce two types of coalitions: an anti-corruption coalition, in which GERB under Borissov would find no place, or a geopolitical coalition of the centrist parties, which would be possible only if Borissov resigns from leading his party.
“With this aggression, with this war with a clear aggressor in the face of Putin – nothing against the Russian people — with this farce with the referendums, Bulgaria must be very clear, categorical, and precise about its place in the European Union and NATO,” he said.
