Former Bulgarian President’s Party Takes Commanding Lead in Parliamentary Vote

SOFIA – Exit polling data from Sunday’s parliamentary elections in Bulgaria indicates that Progressive Bulgaria, the political party linked to former president Rumen Radev, secured a commanding position with 37.5% of voter support, according to Alpha Research’s preliminary results.

Radev, who previously served as Bulgaria’s president and has been known for his pro-Russian political stance, appears to have achieved a substantial electoral advantage through his party’s performance in the weekend voting.

The exit poll results suggest a decisive outcome for Progressive Bulgaria as the country’s voters made their choices for parliamentary representation on April 19.
