If the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) were to contest the upcoming snap parliamentary elections on 27 October as a unified party, it would receive 15.4% of the electorate's support. GERB is again the leading political player, with 21.9 per cent. These are the results of a national poll, financed and conducted jointly by bTV and the Market Links research and consulting agency, among 1,038 people over the age of 18 in the country between August 14 and 23, using face-to-face interviews and online surveys. 

The DPS's score in the latest poll is one of the party's highest. This is probably due to the mobilisation of both factions - around Delyan Peevski and around honorary leader Ahmed Dogan, according to the pollsters. 

n third place, according to the poll, is the coalition We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria (PP-DB), with 14.3 per cent support from voters. It is followed by Vazrazhdane on 11.5 per cent and the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) on 6.2 per cent. Below the 4 per cent threshold to enter Parliament is the Velichie party, with 3.2 per cent of voters.
