Coalition Government: Votes and Cent

coalition government: The results allows party leader Boiko Borisov, a former prime minister, to form his third Cabinet, according to Brandon Sun. The Socialist Party was in second place, polling 27.1 per cent. With about 96.7 per cent of the votes counted, GERB had 32.6 per cent of the votes, the central election commission said. Its leader, Kornelia Ninova, conceded defeat and said the party wouldn't take part in a coalition government with GERB.GERB didn't win enough votes to govern alone, and will likely seek to form a coalition government with some of the three smaller parties whose votes exceeded the 4 per cent minimum threshold to enter parliament. If confirmed, the anti-establishment Volya Will party will enter parliament, scoring just over the minimum 4 per cent required to have seats in the legislature. The near final results showed the United Patriots, an alliance of three nationalist parties, winning 9.2 per cent and the Party for Rights and Freedoms of ethnic Turks with 8.9 per cent.
