Radev Wins Bulgaria Landslide

With nearly all ballots counted, Radev's coalition received approximately 44% of the vote, far outpacing the center-right GERB party.

The result marks a significant shift in Bulgarian foreign policy, as Radev has consistently opposed military aid to Ukraine and called for the lifting of sanctions on Moscow.

European leaders, including Ursula von der Leyen, have congratulated Radev while expressing concern over the Balkan nation's future alignment with EU objectives.

This was Bulgaria's eighth general election in just five years, highlighting the public's desire for a stable government.
