Bulgarians cast their votes in a presidential runoff election. The runoff follows the first round, which saw no candidate secure a majority. Voters head to polling stations across the country. The election comes amid growing regional security threats and economic concerns.
The runoff election is the second round in a presidential race that began in July. No candidate reached the 50% threshold in the first round, triggering a second vote. The two leading candidates are from different political parties. The election is seen as a critical moment for Bulgaria’s political direction.
This is the second presidential election in less than a year. The first round in July saw low voter turnout and a fragmented political landscape. Analysts note that security threats from neighboring regions and economic instability have influenced voter behavior. The outcome could shape Bulgaria’s foreign and domestic policies in the coming years.
