Second round of the presidential election to be held on November 1
Published
With 100% of the protocols processed for the presidential election, it has become clear that Iliana Iotova and Andrey Gurov will take part in the second round. The election of the seventh President of Bulgaria will be decided on November 1.
In the first round, none of the candidates received the absolute majority necessary to be elected outright. Therefore, the two with the most votes proceed to a runoff. The voting in the second round will determine who will assume the post of President of the Republic for the next term.
The President of Bulgaria is elected directly by the citizens and plays an important role in the state. He is the supreme commander-in-chief of the armed forces, appoints ambassadors, and gives the mandate to form a government. The President is elected for a term of five years.
Until November 1, voters will have the opportunity to consider the candidates and their programs. The results of the second round will be announced after the voting has concluded and the protocols have been processed.
