SOFIA (Reuters) - Bulgaria's ruling centre-right GERB party kept control of the capital Sofia in Sunday's mayoral election, exit polls showed, after a run-off vote that tested the party's support after a string of corruption scandals.
GERB's Yordanka Fandakova secured 51-53.5% of votes cast in Sunday's ballot, according to exit polls by independent pollsters Alpha Research and Trend. That would be enough to give her a fourth term as mayor of the city, home to one in four Bulgarians.
