ConsensusFactual rigor 50/100
The Story
Bulgaria will hold a presidential runoff election on Nov. 1 after official results confirmed neither candidate secured an outright majority in the first-round vote, which drew a record-low turnout of 22.98 percent. Incumbent Acting President Iliana Iotova led with 34.76 percent against 31.95 percent for pro-Western former caretaker prime minister Andrey Gyurov, leaving a margin of fewer than 43,000 votes.
