Bulgaria, the poorest member of the European Union, has been plagued by revolving-door governments since anti-corruption protests in 2020, with a series of elections producing shaky coalitions that swiftly crumbled

An election poster of Boyko Borissov, former Bulgarian Prime Minister and leader of the centre-right GERB party is seen in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, June 2, 2024.Bulgarians head to the polls on Sunday for their sixth parliamentary election in three years, but analysts say the vote is unlikely to yield a stable government that can end prolonged political instability and unblock economic reforms.

Polls open at 7 a.m. and will close at 8 p.m. , with exit polls due to be announced immediately after polling stations close. The first partial results are expected around midnight . Failure to form a stable government would raise the risk of further delays, Teneo analysts said in a report last week.

Sunday’s vote was triggered by the collapse in March of a coalition comprising the centre-right GERB party and the reformist We Continue the Change party.
