The centre-right GERB party of former premier Boyko Borissov appears to be the winner of Bulgaria’s parliamentary election, the electoral commission said.

With nearly 99% of the ballots counted, results showed the GERB party receiving 25.4% of the vote, edging out the reformist We Continue The Change party, which was founded a year ago by two Harvard graduates, by more than five percentage points.
