Bulgarian Socialist Party

"I wish a long life and a job well done to the 49th National Assembly. The Bulgarian society wants to have stability and security. This is our common task, it cannot continue like this any longer.

Shortly before midnight, the Central Election Commission (CEC) announced the final results of the early parliamentary vote on Sunday - April 2, according to which six political formations entered the 49th National Assembly.

The question of changing the leadership in the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) does not stand. Party leader Kornelia Ninova will not resign, despite the historically poor result of Sunday's vote.

This became clear at the BSP's first briefing after the elections, in which the party received 8.94%.

"Our result will go up (due to the return of the paper ballot), let me assure you of that."

The words of BSP leader Kornelia Ninova before bTV on March 28 - four days before the early parliamentary elections.

CEC data as of 5:55 p.m. with 100% of sectional protocols processed in the Regional Election Commissions show that six political formations will enter the 49th National Assembly: GERB - SDS, WCC-DB, "Vazrazhdane", DPS, BSP and " There Is Such a People".

The 179,570 people who voted outside of Bulgaria determined that the first place abroad was for the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) which received 36.86% (62,906 people) of the vote.

This is shown by the data of the Central Election Commission with 100% processed protocols abroad.

The choice "I do not support anyone" is becoming more and more relevant, Janitsa Petkova, a sociologist from Gallup International Balkan, commented to the National Radio. "The voter who ticks this box is predominantly female. Predominantly female, and also young women. 60 percent of all ticks are female, almost 1/3 of all ticks are under 30 years old.

Unclear winner and disputed third place. Five formations with secure representation in the next National Assembly, and two are close to the 4 percent barrier. These are the conclusions of a "Trend" survey commissioned by NOVA Broadcasting Group on the electoral attitudes of Bulgarians before the vote on April 2.

If the elections were held in the last ten days of March, the result would be as follows: "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB) and GERB-SDS would have similar support with 26.9% and 26.5%, Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) and "Vazrazhdane" would contest the third place, respectively with 13.3% and 13%. In fifth place is the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) with 7.2%.

Parity for first and second place in the upcoming elections on April 2, according to a study by "Alpha Research" days before the vote.

GERB-SDS and "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB) have extremely close results, within the statistical error - 25.9% and 25.4%, respectively.
