The GERB party won Sunday's snap elections in Bulgaria, with four more parties passing the four-percent threshold to gain seats in the National Assembly, official results showed on Thursday.
Ivilina Alexieva, chairperson of the Central Election Commission, told reporters that the number of eligible voters was 6.8 million, while the number of votes was 3.5 million.
According to the final election results, the GERB party received 32 percent of votes, followed by the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) with 27 percent, the United Patriots and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms neck-and-neck with 9.07 percent and 8.99 percent respectively, and Volya with four percent, Alexieva said.
This secured 95 seats for GERB in the 240-seat parliament, 80 seats for BSP, 27 for the Patriots, 26 for the MRF, and 12 seats for Volya, Alexieva said.
On Sunday evening, when the first exit polls were announced, GERB's leader Boyko Borissov said his party would make a huge effort to quickly form a government that would meet the expectations of the people.
The elections on March 26 were the third early parliamentary elections held in Bulgaria in a row, after May 2013 and October 2014.
