Exit polls indicate incumbent President Iliana Iotova will secure a second term, defeating pro-Western challenger Andrey Gyurov after a campaign focused on Bulgaria's stance on the Ukraine war.
Bulgaria’s incumbent President Iliana Yotova won the presidential election on Sunday, helping to cement Ukraine-skeptic Prime Minister Rumen Radev’s grip on power in the euro-area country. Incumbent President Iliana Yotova appears set to win Bulgaria's presidential election runoff. Exit polls put the more Russia-friendly candidate who favors dialogue with Moscow on just over 50% of the vote.
Bulgarians voted Sunday in a presidential runoff between two candidates with opposing views on the Ukraine war and relations with Russia as tensions mount in the Black Sea.
Bloomberg reported the story as "Presidential Win Strengthens Bulgaria Ukraine-Skeptic Leader." RT reported the story as "Ukraine aid critic wins Bulgarian presidential election."
