Bulgaria needs a bold reformist government, Democratic Bulgaria co-leader Hristo Ivanov said in a voting section in Sofia after casting his ballot in Sunday's snap elections.

Ivanov said the next government should be able to inspire the nation to make a leap forward. "This is perfectly feasible, regardless of how complicated the situation may seem," he said. "It is the complicated situation that can drive Bulgaria to make a leap forward in its development."

"We can be in a much better situation in a couple of years, we should just keep focused on the top priorities." According to Ivanov, the politicians should show responsibility and consistency.

"I do not think that a reformist government is possible without Democratic Bulgaria," he said.

He urged people to exercise their right to vote, so they will not have to hold elections again soon.
