Bulgaria heading for a run-off, exit polls give the outgoing president a slight advantage

In Bulgaria we are heading towards a run-off. According to exit polls, the outgoing president, the socialist Yliana Yotova, has a slight advantage over Andrey Ghiurov, supported by the liberal pro-Europeans of Democratic Bulgaria. But Yatova would not have the majority needed to be elected in the first round.

According to exit polls, Yotova, in favor of dialogue with Moscow, obtained between 35% and 36.5% of the votes and will face Ghiurov in next Sunday's run-off - former interim prime minister supported by the pro-Western opposition - who, according to three different polls, ranked second with a percentage of between 32.2% and 32.5% of the votes.
