Bulgaria's Radev wins election

The election results reflect a significant shift in Bulgarian politics, with the pro-Russian leader defeating the conservative GERB party.

Radev's victory may complicate Bulgaria's relationship with the European Union and NATO, particularly regarding military support for Ukraine.

Voter turnout was higher than expected, signaling a public desire for a stable government after multiple failed elections.

Radev will now begin the process of forming a coalition, which analysts predict will be a challenging task given the fragmented political landscape.
