Voter attitudes remain unchanged after the first week of the campaign

After the first week of the election campaign, five formations are certain to enter the next parliament and one is on the threshold, said Boryana Dimitrova from the Alpha Research agency for the Bulgarian National Radio. She presented data from a nationally representative survey of the adult population, commissioned by BNR. The survey was conducted among 1,000 respondents between March 19 and 26, 2026, through standardized interviews using tablets in respondents’ homes. According to the poll, no formation is expected to secure a majority in the new National Assembly.
