Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov has said he will not be a candidate to lead the country’s next government after his centre-right party fell well short of a majority in a parliamentary vote earlier this month.
Borissov’s GERB party, which has led Bulgaria for most of the past decade, remained the biggest political force in the country following the April 4 polls. But it lost a fifth of its seats as public anger grew over rampant corruption, which boosted new protest parties and delivered a more fragmented parliament.
