SOFIA, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Bulgaria’s President Rumen Radev will resign, he said in a speech on Monday, stoking widespread speculation that he will form his own political party to run in upcoming parliamentary elections after the previous government resigned last month.
Radev, who was supposed to hold the largely ceremonial post until January 2027, said that he will submit his resignation to the Constitutional Court on Tuesday. If approved, he will be replaced by Vice-President Iliana Iotova until presidential elections in November.
