Bulgarian Election Too Close To Call

 

Politico: Bulgarian election too close to call after fifth vote in 2 years  

A pro-Western coalition and Boyko Borissov’s GERB were neck and neck. 

No clear winner emerged in Bulgaria’s election on Sunday night, much to the dismay of voters who have been to the polls five times in the last two years. 

In the first release of results, it seemed that the pro-Western coalition, Continuing the Change and Democratic Bulgaria, had won a narrow majority with 26.4 percent, beating the center-right establishment party, GERB, which scored 25.5 percent. But in a recount, the former scored 24.8 percent while the latter secured the lead with 25.9 percent. 

Observers expect a clear winner to emerge by Monday after all international voters’ ballots are counted.
