Bulgaria elects first female president, pro-Russia Yotova wins runoff

Ilyana Yotova, allied with PM Radov, won Bulgaria's presidential runoff with 57.6%, defeating a pro-Western candidate. She opposes military aid to Ukraine and advocates resuming dialogue with Moscow, despite Russian attacks on Bulgarian ships in the Black Sea. Low turnout (27%) reflects voter fatigue after eight parliamentary elections in five years, signaling political instability and a potential shift in Bulgaria's foreign policy orientation.

Iliana Iotova has won the Bulgarian presidential runoff with 57.58% of the vote, becoming the first woman elected to the office. Her victory signals a potential shift towards a more pro-Russia dialogue and an anti-Ukraine aid stance, though the extent of policy change is uncertain due to the president's limited foreign policy powers. Voter turnout was notably low at 27%, reflecting political fatigue.
