Incumbent president Iliana Yotova won the presidential run-off against former caretaker prime minister Andrei Gyurov, according to final results by the Central Election Commission (CEC) on November 2.
With ballots from all precincts counted, Yotova, nominated by an initiative committee and endorsed by the ruling Progressive Bulgaria party, received 57.57 per cent of the votes.
Gyurov, similarly nominated by an initiative committee and endorsed by pro-Western opposition We Continue the Change and Democratic Bulgaria parliamentary groups, got 39.48 per cent.
A total of 2.95 per cent cast ballots against both candidates.
In the first round a week earlier, Yotova received 34.76 per cent of the votes and Gyurov had 31.95 per cent.
Voter turnout in the run-off was 28.67 per cent, amongst the lowest ever, albeit above the record low 22.98 per cent CEC reported for the first round.
