Bulgaria Faces Seventh Election in Four Years Amid Political Turmoil

The Balkan nation struggles with coalition failures as voter turnout is predicted to hit record lows.

Bulgaria's political instability persists with the upcoming seventh election in just over three years, as previous coalition attempts have repeatedly failed.
Voter turnout is expected to be the lowest since the fall of communism, with predictions ranging from 30% to 32%, reflecting widespread apathy and disillusionment.
The GERB party leads in the polls with 26.5%, while the pro-Russian Revival party and reformist We Continue the Change party trail behind.
A split in the Movement for Rights and Freedoms party has further complicated coalition-building efforts, exacerbating the political deadlock.
Analysts foresee continued instability, with the potential for another election early next year unless a viable coalition is unexpectedly formed.
