Rumen Radev wins Bulgarian election

Radev's runaway victory has raised hopes for a stable government after years of weak coalitions and corruption scandals.

The outcome is being closely watched by the EU and NATO, as Radev has historically maintained friendly ties with the Kremlin.

His campaign focused on ending the 'stranglehold of corrupt officials' and implementing economic reforms.

Analysts suggest his leadership could shift Bulgaria's foreign policy stance at a critical time for European security.
