Voting trends among Bulgarians living abroad diverge significantly from those within the country, as observed in the recent elections. The Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) claims the top spot with approximately 39 percent of the votes, largely attributed to a substantial turnout from Turkey.

In a surprising turn, "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB) secures the second position, followed by "Revival" and "Greatness." Notably, GERB finds itself in fifth place, closely trailing "There Is Such a People" (TISP).

The representation of political forces in the parliament reflects a diverse landscape, with six parties making the cut. Remarkably, GERB, once a dominant force, now occupies a lower position, indicative of shifting preferences among voters abroad, constituting roughly 20 percent of the electorate.

The breakdown of votes for the National Assembly underscores the varying strengths of each party. DPS leads with 39.27%, followed by WCC-DB at 16.58%, and "Revival" with 12.45%. "Greatness," GERB, and TISP follow closely behind, highlighting a fragmented political spectrum.

Meanwhile, in the elections for the European Parliament, WCC-DB emerges as the dominant force in the absence of votes from Turkey. With 26.99% of the votes, it surpasses other contenders, including "Revival," "Greatness," and GERB, reflecting differing preferences in the European context.

These results underscore the complex dynamics of electoral preferences among Bulgarians residing abroad, signaling a nuanced political landscape that may shape future policymaking and political discourse.
