Acting President Iliana Iotova leads trader consensus at 41.5% implied probability to win Bulgaria's fall 2026 presidential election, reflecting her incumbency advantage following Rumen Radev's January resignation and her steady handling of the ensuing political crisis, including appointing a caretaker government and scheduling snap parliamentary elections for April 19. The fragmented field favors her over Nikolai Denkov (23%), tied to the anti-corruption We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria bloc, and GERB figures Rosen Zhelyazkov (11.5%) and Boyko Borissov (10.7%), amid no recent presidential polls but parliamentary surveys showing Radev's new Progressive Bulgaria alliance ahead at around 28-30%. Voter fatigue from eight parliamentary votes since 2021 underscores uncertainty, with the April contest poised as a key momentum test ahead of the two-round presidential race.
