Radev Set for Bulgaria Landslide

Radev Set for Bulgaria Landslide

Bulgaria’s political landscape is set for a dramatic transformation as Rumen Radev’s coalition leads with approximately 37-44% of the vote.

The former fighter pilot has campaigned on a platform of ending oligarchic governance and has consistently opposed sanctions against Moscow.

While the victory is decisive, Radev may still require coalition partners to form a stable majority in the 240-seat parliament.

This election, the eighth in five years, reflects a weary electorate seeking stability amidst deep corruption concerns and geopolitical uncertainty.
