Bulgaria's presidential election has proceeded to a runoff on November 1, pitting incumbent Iliana Yotova (pro-Russian) against Andrey Gyurov (pro-Western). Yotova led the first round with approximately 35-36% of the vote, but failed to secure an outright majority, with Gyurov receiving around 32%. Record-low voter turnout, estimated at just over 20%, characterized the first round, indicating voter fatigue and potentially amplifying the influence of mobilized blocs.
