Radev Wins Bulgarian Election Landslide

Radev Wins Bulgarian Election Landslide

Bulgarian voters have delivered a convincing mandate to Rumen Radev, whose eurosceptic platform centered on renewing ties with Moscow and ending oligarchic governance.

Exit polls indicate his coalition has secured approximately 44% of the vote, which would grant them at least 129 seats in the 240-seat parliament.

The Kremlin has expressed encouragement at the result, citing Radev's desire to resolve bilateral issues through pragmatic dialogue.

However, the victory has raised concerns among EU allies regarding Bulgaria's future alignment on military support for Ukraine.
