Anti-government parties surge in Bulgaria election: Exit polls

Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Anti-government parties surge in Bulgaria election: Exit polls” – below is their description.

Exit polls in Bulgaria are suggesting the Prime Minister’s Boyko Borissov centrе-right GERB will get the most seats in the parliamentary election.

But GERB is expected to strain to form a governing coalition, with polls suggesting that anti-government parties have performed better than expected.

Borissov is seeking a fourth term but has faced months of protests against his leadership which has been dogged by corruption scandals.
