Bulgaria's centre-right GERB party won a parliamentary election on Sunday, preliminary results showed, but it will have to seek a coalition partner to form a government, APA reports citing Reuters.
According to preliminary results from the state election commission based on a partial vote count, GERB won 26.08% of the votes.
The reformist We Continue the Change (PP) party came second with 14.76%, the commission website showed on Monday morning after counting more than 82% of the votes, while the ultra-nationalist Revival party came third with 13.8%.
GERB leader Boyko Borissov on Monday morning thanked voters for their support and said his party would form a new government.
"We will work together with everyone except Revival," he said.
Bulgaria has been run by short-lived governments since 2020, when anti-graft protests helped to end a coalition led by the GERB party.
