Bulgarian voters cast ballots on Sunday in their eighth parliamentary election in five years, fueled by distrust in traditional parties, anti-corruption protests, and rising prices.

Ex-President Rumen Radev’s Progressive Bulgarians bloc leads the polls as an “ethical alternative,” pledging to overhaul oligarchic politics, restore ties with Russia, and reject Ukraine aid.

High turnout from over 3.3 million voters signals a deepening crisis, with preliminary results expected Monday amid calls to oust corrupt officials for transparent rule of law.
