SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — The center-right GERB party of former prime minister Boyko Borissov is the likely winner of Bulgaria’s parliamentary election, after exit poll results showed it placing first. The exit poll conducted by the Gallup International pollster showed GERB with 25% of the vote Sunday. It apparently edged out the reformist coalition between the We Continue the Change party and the right-wing Democratic Bulgaria by a margin of nearly 10% of the votes. Initial results are expected Monday, but it could take days before the final official results are announced. If they confirm the exit poll, Borissov will be handed a mandate to form his fourth Cabinet.
