Bulgaria Presidential Election Opinion Polls 2016
Bulgarian main ruling party's candidate Tsetska Tsacheva is set to lose to any of the two predicted frontrunners, a new survey has suggested.
Tsetska Tsacheva, the Parliament Speaker nominated by Prime Minister Boyko Borisov, would come second to socialist-backed candidate Rumen Radev and nationalist-backed candidate Krasimir Karakachanov, whoever of them makes it to the second round, a Market Links poll suggests.
According to the survey by private broadcaster bTV
Radev – Bulgarian Socialist Party BSP – 30.7%
Tsacheva – 25%
If Krasimir Karakachanov comes in second round- nationalist alliance – 28.50%,
Tsacheva's – 24%.
In the event of Radev and Karakachanov making it to a runoff, the former would win a tight race by mustering 27.2%, and Karakachanov 26.1%.
- Prime Minister Borisov has said he will resign if GERB's candidate loses the elections.
- Market Links is an agency formerly owned by Rumyana Bachvarova, now Interior Miniser.
- It was the pollster that first predicted GERB's major election victory in 2009. Surprisingly, the poll also gives the fourth place to Varba-based pharmaceutics businessman Veselin Mareshki in the first round. Mareshki, 4.30%, is expected to trail behind Tsacheva (below 19.4%), Radev (18.1%) and Karakachanov (8.5%).
