Bulgaria is holding presidential elections this Sunday, following Rumen Radev's resignation. Iliana Iotova, the interim president and former vice president, is leading in polls. Voter turnout is notably low at 15.95%, the lowest in 20 years. The election gains significance due to recent drone attacks on commercial vessels, raising security concerns. Both main candidates, Iotova and Andrei Ghiurov, have condemned the attacks but differ in their views on the war in Ukraine. Iotova, supported by Radev, advocates for diplomatic solutions, while Ghiurov, backed by pro-Western parties, emphasizes support for Ukraine. If no candidate secures a majority, a runoff will occur on November 1.
