A newly introduced "protest vote" option has fared better than some of the candidates in the presidential election in Bulgaria, official figures show.
With nearly half of the vote counted, more than 5.80% have cast a ballot ticking "I Do Not Support Anyone", added after voting was made compulsory earlier this year.
Its result, if confirmed, would give it a narrow edge on Plamen Oresharski, the former Prime Minister who got the sixth-biggest result among candidates, and a slighly lower result than Traycho Traykov, the candidate of junior coalition partner Reformist Bloc.
