Iliyana Yotova leads Andrey Gyurov by about 42,000 votes ahead of Sunday's runoff
Published
On Sunday, Bulgaria will hold a presidential runoff. Iliyana Yotova and Andrey Gyurov are taking part. The runoff is held when none of the candidates receives the required majority in the first round.
Iliyana Yotova is the leading candidate by number of votes. Her lead over Andrey Gyurov is about 42,000 votes. This is a relatively small difference, so the final result will not be clear until the voting is completed.
The president of Bulgaria is the head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. He or she can return a law to parliament for reconsideration and represents the country in relations with other states. That is why the election matters for the country's political life.
Voters will decide on Sunday which of the two candidates will take the post. The results will be announced after the votes are counted.
