SOFIA (Reuters) -Bulgaria will hold a presidential election on Nov. 14, lawmakers decided on Thursday, as the politically fractured country also gears up for a snap parliamentary election likely to take place in the same month.

Bulgaria holds votes for the presidency, a largely ceremonial position, every five years. Incumbent Rumen Radev, who has maintained high approval ratings since he was elected in 2016, is running for a second five-year term.
