Bulgaria Presidential Election: Jotowa Leads First Round, Runoff Against Gyurov Amid Low Turnout

Incumbent Iliana Jotowa (also Yotova/Jotovová), a pro-Russian candidate, won the first round of Bulgaria's presidential election with approximately 35-36% of the vote, facing pro-Western rival Andrey Gyurov (also Gjoev/Giurov) in a runoff scheduled for November 1. The election was characterized by record-low voter turnout, just over 20%, and GERB's unprecedented absence of a candidate. The outcome will shape Bulgaria's foreign policy orientation, particularly regarding Russia and Ukraine, despite the presidency's limited executive powers.
