The current president of Bulgaria, Ileana Yutova, is winning the first round of the country's next presidential election, according to exit poll data. About 35.3% of voters voted for her. His main opponent, Andrei Girov, who was supported by the opposition, received about 32.2% of the votes. In third place remains the candidate from the "Renaissance" political party Kostadin Kostadinov, for whom 13% of the voters voted. Yutova and Giorov will participate in the second round of voting, which will take place on November 1. What was surprising was the record low voter turnout. According to surveys, about 22.3% of citizens with the right to vote participated in the vote, which is an anti-record for electoral activity in elections in Bulgaria.
