Bulgaria conducted its eighth parliamentary election in five years on Sunday, following the resignation of a conservative-led government amid anti-corruption protests. Former President Rumen Radev's Progressive Bulgaria leads with approximately 44.7% of votes after over 91% counted, per partial results, potentially securing around 130 of 240 seats, though final outcomes and majority claims remain disputed. Radev described the result as a 'victory of hope' and expressed openness to forming a stable government.
