Trend Agency

Six parties enter the 46th National Assembly. This is shown by the data from the exit poll of the sociological agencies Gallup International Balkan and Trend, announced immediately after the end of the election day.

Bulgarians live seven years less than citizens of the most developed countries in the European Union.

Trend Agency presented exit poll data for the turnout in some of the district cities that elect its mayors on Sunday. The figures were presented by sociologist Dimitar Ganev on the air of NOVA Sunday.

Here are how many of the eligible voters went to the ballot box:

Sofia - 26.3%

Plovdiv - 20,9%

Varna - 19.3%

Pleven - 27.3%

Rousse - 25.7%

There will be a second round in Sofia and a number of regional cities. GERB remains the strongest party, the BSP improves its results and goes on a run-off in a number of regional cities. The big surprise of the vote is the breakthrough of the independent candidate Boris Bonev in Sofia. At the same time, Bulgaria rejected national populists.

''There is an increasing share of those who hesitate or declare that they would not vote, ie they are not interested in the political processes at the moment. The proportion of the apolitical population is increasing.'' This is what sociologist Stefan Georgiev from AFIS commented, according to BNT.

He explained the trend with the fact that we are not in a pre-election situation.

62% of Bulgarians claim to believe in God, while 26% firmly state they do not believe, reports mediapool. 

This is clear from the second part of the study of the value attitudes of the population conducted by the Trend Agency on the order of the Right Policy Institute. From October 3 to 10, 1004 people were interviewed face-to-face.
