Bulgaria's current president, Iliana Yutova, is leading in the second round of the presidential election, gaining from 51.1% to 52.5% of the vote, Bulgarian National Television reports based on exit polls. Her rival, former Prime Minister Andrei Girov, gets between 43.4% and 44.6%. As the Financial Times points out, Yutova advocates the renewal of dialogue with Moscow and opposes military aid to Ukraine, while her rival sticks to a pro-Western course.
