Will Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) win the most seats in the 2026 Bulgarian parliamentary election?

“DPS has historically been a significant minority party but rarely leads in seat counts. Recent polling shows them trailing GERB and other coalitions. Coalition dynamics and anti-corruption sentiment likely limit their ability to become largest party.”

“DPS (Movement for Rights and Freedoms) has historically been a mid-sized party in Bulgaria, typically finishing 3rd or 4th. Even after its 2024 split, neither faction has polled near the top. GERB or PP-DB are far more likely to win the most seats.”

“DPS historically has not been the largest party in Bulgarian elections, typically trailing behind GERB and BSP. Current polling and political trends do not indicate a significant shift in their favor.”
