Crisis-hit Bulgaria to hold new snap election on 14 November

President Rumen Radev announces new vote, after polls in April and July produced fragmented legislatures

Bulgaria will hold snap general elections on 14 November to try to resolve a political crisis that has left it without a regular government for months, the country's president, Rumen Radev, said on Saturday.

Bulgarians voted in April and July but both polls resulted in fragmented legislatures. No party has been able to form a government to succeed the almost 10-year tenure of former conservative prime minister Boyko Borisov.
