Bulgaria's Political Turmoil Continues with Fifth Inconclusive Election.

Bulgaria faces tough coalition talks after its fifth inconclusive election in two years. The centre-right GERB party led by former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov won 26.5% of votes, while the pro-Western reformist bloc led by We Continue the Change (PP) had 24.6%. The prolonged political deadlock, caused mainly by personal animosity among leaders of the two main blocs, has already forced the country to delay its target date for adopting the euro, and it has yet to approve a budget bill for 2023.

Bulgarian Parliamentary Election Results: Reformist Bloc Takes the Lead.

Exit polls show that the reformist bloc, comprised of the We Continue the Change (PP) and Democratic Bulgaria (DB) parties, has won most of the votes in Bulgaria's parliamentary election, but is expected to struggle to form a stable coalition government. The PP/DB accuses former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and his GERB party of presiding over rampant corruption during their decade-long rule. Other parties likely to enter parliament are the Bulgarian Socialist Party, the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, and Revival, a nationalist party sympathetic to Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Ukraine war.
