Six parties would enter the new parliament and a runoff is coming for the presidential vote, according to a study by the Alpha Research Agency, conducted in the period November 7-9 with the agency's own funds. Five days before the elections, less than half of Bulgarian voters (47-48%) are ready to take part in the elections.

GERB-SDS keeps its leading position with support of 24.1%. The second place is contested by "We Continue the Change" and the BSP with 16.5% and 16%. "Democratic Bulgaria", ITN and the MRF are the other three parties that would have presence in the next parliament and their results are currently 10.2%, 9.9% and 9.8%, respectively. "Stand up BG! We are Coming!” is below the 4% barrier.

In the race for the presidency, Rumen Radev, who is running for a second term in office, can expect 46.4% of the votes and Anastas Gerdzhikov - 28.3%. The support for each of the other candidates is less than 9%.

The data are from a study by the Alpha Research Agency, conducted in the period November 7-9 and financed with the agency's own funds.
