In this election, compared to the election in November 2021, fewer young people went to the polls, which reduced the vote for "We Continue the Change". A quarter decided who they were going to vote for at the last minute, and those who voted "I do not support anyone" are three times more than in the November elections, according to a Gallup International Balkan study. 
The new ones in the parliament - "Bulgarian Rise" take 1/3 of the votes of "We Continue the Change" and another 10,000 votes from the BSP. Another 40,000 votes from "We Continue the Change" went to "Vazrazhdane", which doubled its result compared to the previous election. 

According to Parvan Simeonov from "Gallup", the profile of those who voted for "Vazrazhdane" is not, as expected, radical, but it is a vote of protest, which is why it is colorful.
"We Continue the Change" are first in Sofia with 26% against 22% for GERB. The two parties equally share the votes of university graduates - about 24% each.

According to Simeonov, if the political forces in the parliament do not find a compromise formula for a cabinet, they will be punished by the voters.
