President Rumen Radev said in a statement he would hand the mandate on Monday to GERB-SDS, the largest parliamentary group, but it has only 66 seats in the 240-member parliament and seems unlikely to garner enough backing to form a new government. [...] Under Bulgaria's constitution, Radev would then hand the mandate to the second-largest party and then to the third-largest. If no grouping can build a parliamentary majority, a snap parliamentary election follows.
