Iliana Iotova Wins Bulgaria's Presidential Runoff as First Elected Female President
Iliana Iotova has won Bulgaria's presidential runoff with about 58% of the vote, becoming the country's first elected female president. Backed by Prime Minister Rumen Radev's Progressive Bulgaria party, she is expected to continue policies balancing European integration with dialogue toward Russia. Her opponent, Andrey Gyurov, supported by pro-Western reformist parties, conceded defeat. The largely ceremonial presidency holds key powers, including veto authority and caretaker government appointments, amid ongoing regional tensions linked to the Ukraine conflict.
