A voter turnout of about 55% is to be expected in the upcoming general elections in Bulgaria on Sunday, according to the National Center for Study of Public Opinion (NCIOM).

NCIOM head Lidiya Yordanova has told reporters that both the center-right GERB party and the opposition Bulgarian Socialist Party have been able to mobilize their voters over the past days.

Two more parties - the ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms and the ultranationalist Ataka – are to obtain seats in the country’s next Parliament, while several other formations stand an outside chance.

The center-right GERB government of former PM Boyko Borisov resigned amid massive protests against corruption and poverty in February, prompting President Rosen Plevneliev to adjourn the Parliament, appoint a caretaker Cabinet and schedule snap elections for May 12.
