Whether there will be a runoff depends on voter turnout. The law stipulates that for a president to have been elected in the first round of election, voter turnout has to be no less than 50%, or more than 3.35 million voters.
According to the survey, 6 or 7 parties would enter the next parliament, though the formation of a government will be difficult.
The percentages given by the respondents are as follows:
At 4.2%, Stand Up.BG! We Are Coming! stand a chance of entering the next National Assembly, the electoral threshold being 4%.
According to Mediana, even though GERB is in the lead, its return to power does not seem possible at this time. According to the agency, forming a government will be difficult, as it will take at least a 4-party coalition.
