A new coalition secured Bulgaria’s first outright parliamentary majority since 1997, winning 131 of 240 seats in the April 19th election.

In Sofia’s new parliament, the WCC-DB reformist alliance that campaigned jointly in the April 19th snap elections is now officially divided.

Former president Rumen Radev’s party is tipped to win Sunday’s vote, but forming a stable government will be hard.

Polls suggest the political grouping—freshly registered in Sofia—could secure more than 30% of the vote in the upcoming election.
