Bulgaria’s Yotova Edges Ahead of Gyurov in Presidential Election Exit Polls
Yotova received 36.5% of the vote, compared with 32.4% for Gyurov, based on figures published by polling agency Trend and reported by a Bulgarian news agency.
The difference between the two leading candidates was tighter than opinion polls had predicted before the vote.
The exit poll figures point to a competitive contest, with the final result dependent on the official vote count.
Under Bulgaria's electoral rules, a candidate must obtain more than 50% of valid ballots, with turnout exceeding 50% of registered voters, to secure victory in the first round.
If these conditions are not met, the two candidates with the highest vote totals will face each other in a runoff scheduled for next Sunday, Nov. 1.
