“The probability of the third mandate being successful is 4-5%. We are moving towards elections,” Prof. Antoaneta Hristova, political analyst with the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences said for the BNR. She believes that the Bulgarian Socialist Party is going to get the third mandate. The decision who should get the third mandate for forming a government is up to the President. 

“The President sees himself as someone who has been elected most of all by the left-wing. So, that would be a gesture to the voters who vote for the left,” Prof. Hristova said. In her view the electoral threshold for entering parliament should be higher. “That would stop the nobodies from entering and would clean up the parliamentary environment,” she said.
