Supporter of dialogue with Russia leading in the presidential elections in Bulgaria after counting 99% of the ballots, the couple Ilian Yotov and Kiril Velchev won 34.69% of the votes. In second place are Andrey Girov and Georgi Kandev with 31.98%. Yotova previously opposed the sending of Bulgarian soldiers to Ukraine and called for an end to the conflict. Girov, on the contrary, declares the need for Bulgaria to participate in the joint efforts of the European Union and NATO. The turnout was below 50%, so the second round will take place on November 1, where the top two couples will meet.
