Bulgaria's presidential race goes to a runoff between Yotova and Gyurov
Bulgaria's presidential election will be decided in a runoff between incumbent Iliana Yotova and opposition candidate Andrey Gyurov, after a first round with low turnout.
Bulgaria's presidential election is going to a runoff. President Iliana Yotova will face Andrey Gyurov, a former caretaker prime minister, according to Al Jazeera. Voters will choose between them next week.
Both outlets point to low voter turnout. PBS NewsHour calls it a record low.
PBS NewsHour describes Yotova as the incumbent leftist president. It describes Gyurov as the candidate of the pro-Western reformist opposition and says he performed more strongly than expected. PBS says the matchup sets clear lines of division over the country's future relationships with other nations.
