The first projections on the vote confirm the uncertain result in the elections in Bulgaria

The first projections on the real vote confirm a new uncertain result in the early elections held this Sunday in Bulgaria, the fourth in 18 months.

The Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) party of former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov has been the most voted with 23.5 percent of the votes and would win 63 of the 240 seats in the Bulgarian National Assembly, according to the projection produced by the Gallup company and published by the Bulgarian news agency Novinite.

Behind is the centrist party We Continue with Change (PP, 19.5 percent and 53 seats), whose leader, Kiril Petkov, was prime minister with the support of the Bulgarian Socialist Party. A motion of censure approved in June was the government's ruling and led to the calling of early elections this Sunday.

The third most voted party is the Turkish-Muslim Movement for Rights and Freedoms (15 percent and 41 seats), followed by the ultra-nationalist Renaissance (10 percent and 27 seats), the Coalition for Bulgaria which includes the Socialist Party from Bulgaria (8.9 percent and 24 deputies) and the centrist Democratic Bulgaria (7 percent and 19 minutes).

Behind and already below the minimum of 4 percent set by the electoral legislation is There is such a People (3.8 percent) and Stand Up Bulgaria (1.1).

Turnout was 39.5 percent and the "I support none" option was chosen by 3.4 percent of voters. Reliable official results are not expected until Monday.

These results do not represent a drastic change with respect to the scenario prior to the elections, so the formation of a government is presumed difficult. Arithmetic makes a coalition of at least three parties necessary to form a stable government and an agreement between two formations is not enough.
