SOFIA (Reuters) - Bulgaria will hold a snap parliamentary election, its seventh in just three years, on Oct. 27, President Rumen Radev said on Monday, following the failure of its political parties to agree a coalition government.

Radev said a caretaker government led by Dimitar Glavchev would be sworn in Bulgaria's parliament on Tuesday to steer the Black Sea nation until the election.
