Quick Glance: Parliamentary elections in Bulgaria: A center-right alliance is expected to win.
  • Ex-Prime Minister Borissov's alliance is likely to be the most powerful force in Bulgaria's legislative elections.

  • Protests against Borissov have raged for months. Bulgaria is the EU's poorest member state, and it has been mired in a political turmoil for years.

  • Months of anti-corruption rallies rocked Bulgaria's government of then-Prime Minister Borissov, who had ruled the country for nearly a decade.

  • The Russian invasion of Ukraine exacerbated Bulgaria's already precarious political situation.
