Run-off vote for the president in Bulgaria

134

Bulgaria has an important vote today. It is a run-off vote. This means: Only 2 people are available.

The first person is Ilijana Jotowa. She is the current president of Bulgaria. She wants peace through talks with Russia. The government supports her.

The second person is Andrej Gjurow. He is an expert for money. He wants close work with the west. He wants to help Ukraine more.

The war in Ukraine changes the vote a lot. Bulgaria is at the Black Sea. There are many attacks with drones. Many people feel fear.

No person wins in the first round. Jotowa gets almost 35 percent of votes. Gjurow gets almost 32 percent of votes. About 6,5 million people can vote.

Many things cost more money now. This brings worry to the people. The vote shows if people like the government.
