Bulgaria's ruling centrist-right GERB is still the most supported party in the country, according to a poll conducted by Gallup International.

A total of 30% of the people surveyed would vote for GERB if elections were to take place now.

The oppositional left-wing Bulgarian Socialist Party would gather 18%, while the potential political project of former EU Commissioner Meglena Kuneva would be third with approximately 9%.

6% would support ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms and 4% would vote for right-wing Blue Coalition, according to the poll. A total of 36% would abstain from voting.

Commenting on the latest cabinet reshuffle, Gallup International expert Parvan Simeonov told bTV on Monday that abrupt political movements are more likely to damage the image of Bulgaria's rulers now as compared to the beginning of their term when they were perceived as a sign of decisiveness.
