Bulgaria’s acting president Iliana Iotova won the presidential runoff with 57.58% of the vote, according to near-final results reported by Reuters.
With 99.95% of polling station protocols processed, the Iotova-Valchev ticket had reportedly received around 1.1 million votes. Opponents Andrey Gyurov and Georgi Kandev secured 39.47%, or approximately 749,500 votes.
Iotova’s victory makes her Bulgaria’s first elected female head of state. The runoff was marked by low voter turnout.
