Bulgarian President Rumen Radev won a second term in a runoff vote, earning two thirds of the vote.
The Socialist-aligned Radev, who has campaigned on an anti-corruption message, won about 66.7 percent support, trailed by Anastas Gerdzhikov backed by former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov’s GERB party, at 31.9 percent, according to official figures with 99.8 percent of ballots counted.
Radev was a major supporter of anti-corruption protests launched last year against Borissov, who was ultimately forced out of power this past spring amid a rule-of-law crisis after dominating the country’s politics for more than a decade.
