Exit polls give his GERB party about 33 percent of the vote, while the main rival Socialists will take about 15 percent.
But no party is expected to win enough votes to govern by itself, meaning that Borisov likely will have to enter into coalition talks.
Bulgaria is one of the European Union's poorest countries - wracked by corruption, a slow economy and a population torn between loyalty to the West and Russia.
Borisov was prime minister from 2009 until he resigned last year in favor of the Socialists.
That government collapsed in July following a banking scandal, forcing early elections.VOA News

GERB party leading Bulgarian parliamentary vote: National TV ...
ReplyDeleteGERB party is leading the Bulgarian parliamentary elections on Sunday, winning about one third of the votes, according to exit polls announced at the Bulgarian National TV channel.
GERB is expected to have 33.2 percent of the votes, against 16.5 percent for the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), and the ethnic Turkish party Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) would get 14.1 percent, according to Boriana Dimitrova, managing partner of Alpha Research Agency.
The agency said they would be followed by the Reformers Bloc with 8.7 percent, Bulgaria without Censorship with 6.3 percent, and the Patriotic Front with 6.0 percent, while ABV party and Ataka party were around the 4-percent borderline with 4.1 percent and 3.9 percent respectively.
Similarly, Zhivko Georgiev from Gallup International said GERB has got 33.9 percent of the votes, followed by BSP with 16.1, MRF with 14.0 percent, Reformers Bloc with 8.6 percent, the Patriotic Front with 6.3 percent, Bulgaria without Censorship with 5.6 percent, Ataka party with 4.9 percent and ABV party with 4.4 percent.
As number of legislators in the 240-seat parliament, according to Alpha Research, GERB would have 90, BSP -- 45, MRF -- 38, Reformers Block -- 23, Bulgaria without Censorship -- 17, the Patriotic Front -- 16, and ABV -- 11.
In turn, Georgiev said GERB would have from 83 to 91 seats, BSP -- 38-44, MRF -- 34-38, Reformers Block -- 22, the Patriotic Front -- 16, Bulgaria without Censorship --- 14, Ataka -- 13, and ABV -- 11.
First forecasts based on partial parallel count are expected to be available later on Sunday, and the official results are expected to be released on Thursday.
GERB, which ruled Bulgaria from July 2009 to March 2013, won 97 seats at the early parliamentary elections in May last year, but a government led by the BSP nominee Plamen Oresharski came to power backed by MRF and relying on the tacit support of the nationalist Ataka party. It fell from power in July this year after the MRF demanded new early elections.

ГЕРБ няма да управлява с ДПС и ББЦ....
ReplyDeleteГЕРБ не иска да следва модела "Орешарски", нормално е нашият лидер да оглави правителството и да прави политиката, която следваме. Това заяви Румяна Бъчварова от ГЕРБ пред Нова тв.
"Ние сме в една нова политическа ситуация. Тази конфигурация в парламента показва, че така както беше досега не може да продължава. Оттук нататък няма решение, което може да бъде взето без участието на ГЕРБ", заяви тя.
Бъчварова уточни, че докато партията не получи мандата за съставяне на правителство разговорите ще бъдат неформални, но ясни и без скрити договорки.
"Според мен трябва да търсим подкрепа за нашата дясноцентристка програма. Ще обявим нашите основни приоритети и позиции, от които не можем да отстъпим. След това ще се опитаме да потърсим подкрепа за основните ни политически тези и на каква цена можем да я получим", коментира още тя.
По думите й, логичният партньор на ГЕРБ е Реформаторският блок.
"Може да се търси подкрепа и от Патриотичния фронт, те обаче не могат да приемат партията на Касим Дал, която участва в Реформаторския блок. Поне това бяха думите на Ангел Джамбазки снощи", допълни Бъчварова.
Тя бе категорична, че ГЕРБ няма да управлява с ДПС и България без цензура, а БСП е основният им политически опонент, с когото имат непреодолими различия в области като данъчната и енергийната политика.
"Въпросът не е колко души ще съберем за подкрепата на това правителство, а каква политика ще правим оттук нататък, ще минираме ли възможността за дясноцентристко управление или ще правим едно компромисно управление, което ще закрепи положението до следващите избори”, заяви още Румяна Бъчварова................http://www.dnes.bg/izbori-2014/2014/10/06/gerb-niama-da-upravliava-s-dps-i-bbc.241124

Bulgaria’s rocky road to a new governing coalition...
ReplyDeleteAfter Bulgaria’s October 5 2014 early parliamentary elections, the country faces a rocky road to achieving a new governing coalition, with some casting doubt on whether it may get there at all.
The morning after provisional results showed Boiko Borissov’s centre-right GERB party winning the largest single share of votes, senior party figures insisted that the party’s approach would be to seek to form a government with Borissov as prime minister.
Local media quoted senior GERB member Roumyana Buchvarova as saying that the party would seek support for a future coalition government from the Reformist Bloc and the Patriotic Front.
Regarding GERB, which also won the largest share of votes in early parliamentary elections in May 2013, but was unable to form a government, the situation in October 2014 may seem reminiscent. However, there are differences................http://sofiaglobe.com/2014/10/06/bulgarias-rocky-road-to-a-new-governing-coalition/

All eyes on Bulgaria’s ‘Turkish party’ MRF.....
ReplyDeleteIt may again have run only third in Bulgaria’s October elections, but the Movement for Rights and Freedoms remains central to conversation in the country’s politics – either as a pole around which the axis of the country’s public life revolves, or as the polecat that few if any other parties want to be near.
The MRF was in particular focus on October 14 in the hours ahead of its scheduled meeting with Boiko Borissov’s GERB, winner of the largest share of votes in the elections and the next government-presumptive......................http://sofiaglobe.com/2014/10/14/all-eyes-on-bulgarias-turkish-party-mrf/
