Bulgaria s Prime Minister Boyko Borissov will have difficulty holding onto power, after a surge of votes in an election on Sunday for anti-establishment and anti-corruption parties that want him out.
Parallel count of the vote by pollsters forecast his centre-right GERB party to remain the largest grouping in parliament, but with only 25.2% of the vote, compared with the 33.5% it won four years ago.
Behind it, a new anti-establishment party founded by a TV host and singer finished second with 17-17.5%, and two other protest parties that reject Borissov were also forecast to enter the parliament, taking over the opposition Socialists.
