Blue Bulgaria ({{langx|bg|Синя България|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 {{ill|National Union of the Right|bg|Национално обединение на десницата}}. 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.{{Cite web |date=5 April 2024 |title="Синя София" на Вили Лилков става "Синя България" и ще участва в националните избори |url=https://www.mediapool.bg/sinya-sofiya-na-vili-lilkov-stava-sinya-bulgaria-i-shte-uchastva-v-natsionalnite-izbori-news357895.html |access-date=22 July 2024 |website=Mediapool.bg |language=bg-BG}}. The coalition received 5.7% of the vote for mayor, and they received 3 seats in the Sofia City Council.{{Cite web |title=Bulgaria: WCC-DB and "Spasi Sofia" will have the Most Members in the New Sofia Municipal Council - Novinite.com - Sofia News Agency |url=https://www.novinite.com/articles/222030/Bulgaria%3A+WCC-DB+and+%22Spasi+Sofia%22+will+have+the+Most+Members+in+the+New+Sofia+Municipal+Council |access-date=22 July 2024 |website=www.novinite.com}}

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.
