"Unlikely to succeed," Bulgaria's PM Borissov says he will propose new government
Bulgaria's long-serving prime minister, Boyko Borissov, announced plans on Wednesday to seek a coalition government after his party came first in Sunday's national election, but he said he was "unlikely to succeed". Following a rise in protest parties accusing it of failing to root out corruption, Borissov’s centre-right GERB will be the largest party in the parliament but far short of majority, with some 26.2% of ballots won. In power since 2009, Borissov, 61, has modernised the country’s crumbling roads and kept its finances in check.
