Bulgaria’s seventh parliamentary election in three years has resulted in a projected victory for the center-right GERB party, led by former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov. While GERB secured the largest share of the vote, the election highlighted a fragmented political landscape and a significant rise in pro-Russian sentiment, with the ultra-nationalist Renaissance party moving into third place. With record-low voter turnout and multiple parties entering parliament, the results suggest continued difficulty in forming a stable governing coalition to end the country’s prolonged political deadlock.
- The GERB-SDS coalition, led by former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, won the election with approximately 26% of the vote.
- The pro-European reformist coalition, PP-DB, finished in second place with around 14% of the ballots.
- The ultra-nationalist, pro-Russian Renaissance party (Vazrazhdane) secured third place with roughly 13% support.
- Overall voter turnout was recorded at approximately 38%, reflecting widespread public fatigue and disillusionment.
- This election represents Bulgaria’s seventh attempt to form a stable government since April 2021.
- Early projections indicate that up to nine different political parties may cross the 4% threshold to enter the new parliament.

The guest gave one of the most meandering explanation I have heard.
Will be so funny if this government becomes the new Orban😂😂😂
Are there really pro-Russian political forces in Bulgaria? Just saying that your country wants no part of Russia-Ukraine conflict labels you pro-Russian. Anything other than active support of Ukraine is not an option.
Oh no. We just dusted off that god-damned oban.
