Vote Too Close To Call In Bulgaria's Pivotal Parliamentary Election
SOFIA -- The race between the two top rivals in Bulgaria's parliamentary election appears too close to call, as exit polls by two leading firms indicate that former Prime Minister Boyko Borisov's center-right GERB party has just a small lead over Kiril Petkov's liberal We Continue the Change-led alliance.
Bulgaria's bTV, working with Alpha Research, reported that GERB has 25.9 percent of the vote, while We Continue the Change -- which has set an alliance with the rightist Democratic Bulgaria party -- has 24.8 percent in its exit poll.
BNT, working with Gallup International, had similar indications, with GERB at 24.4 percent and We Continue the Change at 23.4 percent.
Both polls earlier had We Continue the Change in front by a similar margin.
The Movement for Rights and Freedoms was third in both exit polls with around 14 percent.
Preliminary voting tallies are expected to be released on April 3.
