In Bulgaria, the current head of state, Iliana Yotova, who opposes further military assistance to Ukraine, won the presidential election.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was reported by<\/a> Bulgarian National Television, citing data from the Central Election Commission.<\/p>\n

After processing 99.95% of the protocols, Yotova received 57.58% of the votes, while her opponent, former interim Prime Minister Andrei Gyurov, received 39.47%.<\/p>\n

Yotova will thus become the first woman elected president of Bulgaria. She has been in office since January 2026, when Rumen Radev resigned.<\/p>\n

Gyurov acknowledged<\/a> the voting results and noted that his team did not expect such a difference between the candidates.<\/p>\n

Yotova supports improving relations with Russia, advocates a diplomatic end to the war, and opposes further arms supplies to Ukraine. In contrast, Gyurov supports Kyiv and signed a security agreement between Bulgaria and Ukraine while serving as prime minister.<\/p>\n

Recall that after the first round of the presidential elections in Bulgaria, Yotova and Gyurov advanced to the second round<\/a> . At that time, the difference between them was only a few percentage points.<\/p>\n
