Bulgaria's government resigns, clearing way for new election

SOFIA, Bulgaria — Bulgaria's parliament on Wednesday approved the resignation of the center-right prime minister, who stepped down after the candidate of the opposition Socialist Party capitalized on popular discontent with the government to score a landslide victory in last weekend's presidential election.

Although the presidential vote isn't directly linked to the executive, Boiko Borisov announced that he was stepping down because there wasn't enough popular support for his GERB party.

Parliament on Wednesday voted 218-0 to approve the resignation of Borisov's government.
