Radev wins Bulgarian landslide election

Rumen Radev, a former fighter pilot known for his euroskeptic views and opposition to military aid for Ukraine, appears set for a landslide win in Bulgaria.

This election marks the eighth time the country has gone to the polls in five years, reflecting deep-seated political instability.

Radev has pledged to dismantle the nation's "oligarchic governance model" and address rampant corruption.

While his victory is decisive, he will likely still require coalition partners to form a stable majority in the 240-seat parliament.
