Bulgarian People's Union

Political party in Bulgaria

The Bulgarian People's Union (Bulgarian: Български народен съюз) was a centre-right electoral alliance in Bulgaria. It contested only one legislative election: that on 25 June 2005. It won 5.7% of the popular vote and 13 out of 240 seats. The Union was composed by the Bulgarian Agrarian People's Union-People's Union (Bulgarian: Български Земеделски Народен Съюз-Народен Съюз), the IMRO – Bulgarian National Movement (Bulgarian: Ватрешна Македонска Револуционна Организация-Българско Национално Движение) and the Union of Free Democrats (Съюз на свободните демократи).

The alliance disbanded later that year.
