Balgarianovinite.com Four or five parties and coalitions have cleared the 4% barrier for entry in the legislature. The parallel count results show that Rumen Radev’s Progressive Bulgaria coalition is the clear winner in Bulgaria’s snap parliamentary elections on Sunday, with around 45% of the votes, according to polling agencies.
This result will likely give him a majority of over 120 seats in the 240-member Parliament.
Next come GERB-UDF and Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria (CC-DB), which are tied for the second place, Movement for Rights and Freedoms, and maybe Vazrazhdane, which fails to clear 4% barrier according to some parallel count results.

The results from overseas voting are yet to come and may cause further shifts.
