Kostadin Kostadinov of the Revival party holds the strongest position for third place in Bulgaria’s October 25 first-round presidential vote, backed by consistent polling placing his ticket behind Iliana Iotova and Andrey Gyurov. Recent surveys from Gallup, Market Links, and others show his support in the 8–13% range among decided voters, well ahead of the fragmented field of 27 registered tickets. Low projected turnout around 36–40% favors established party-backed candidates like Kostadinov, whose campaign has emphasized national sovereignty, defense, and border security. No late shifts have narrowed the gap to other contenders, though undecided voters and mobilization by major parties remain variables ahead of election day.
