The parties "We Continue the Change" and "There is Such a People" have 14 percent each. They are followed by "Democratic Bulgaria" and MRF with about 9 percent each, while "Stand up BG! We are Coming!" are on the edge of the 4-percent threshold.

According to the Sova Harris poll, current President Rumen Radev has about 49.7 per cent support, followed by Anastas Gerdhzikov and Mustafa Karadayi with 20.4 and 5 per cent, respectively.
