Three-time premier Boyko Borisov -- an ex-firefighter and bodyguard -- has dominated politics in Bulgaria for a decade. Polls show the 63-year-old's conservative party GERB will win the most votes on Sunday, but like in April last year, he may not be able to find partners to govern. "The rule of law has started to come back to Bulgaria," Petkov, who some say looks like a younger version of Hollywood star John Travolta, told AFP in an interview this week. Outgoing premier Kiril Petkov cobbled together a coalition after his centre-left party won the most votes. A fresh face in politics, Petkov was appointed economy minister in a caretaker administration in 2021 before setting up his party with Vassilev.
