Bulgaria to hold fresh parliamentary elections in July after coalition talks fail

Bulgaria will hold another election on July 11 after the three largest political parties failed to form a coalition government, writes Euronews.

Last month"s vote resulted in a political deadlock and fragmented Parliament.

President Rumen Radev said that he expects a new electoral commission to be appointed by May 11, when he would appoint a caretaker government and call a new election.

At April’s election, Prime Minister Boyko Borissov’s GERB party won the most seats with an estimated 26% of the vote.

However, the centre-right party lost votes amid widespread protests against corruption and failed to find any coalition partners
