Bulgarian ousted premier Boyko Borisov’s party came first in tense elections Sunday but fell short of a majority, exit polls showed, setting the scene for political stalemate and fresh protests.
Three months after the biggest demonstrations in years prompted the former bodyguard to tender his government’s resignation, Borisov’s GERB party won between 29.6 and 32 per cent of the vote, exit polls showed, based on a count of votes from two percent of constituencies.
The socialist BSP party came second with between 25.6 and 26.2 per cent.
