Blue Bulgaria (Bulgarian: Синя България, romanized: Sinya Bŭlgariya) is a right-wing Bulgarian political electoral coalition founded in 2024.

History

In July and November 2021, KOD alongside BDF and others (BZNS and RzB) ran as the National Union of the Right [bg]. The coalition got 0.28% and 0.42% in July and November, respectively.

In the 2023 Bulgarian local elections, an electoral coalition called 'Blue Sofia' was formed, nominating Vili Lilkov as their mayoral candidate.[1] The coalition received 5.7% of the vote for mayor, and they received 3 seats in the Sofia City Council.[2]

Following the relative success of the electoral coalition in the local elections, Blue Bulgaria was set up as a nationwide electoral coalition to contest the 2024 European Parliament and National Assembly elections.
