Bulgarians vote Sunday to choose a new president in a contested runoff that has become a referendum on the fate of the country's center-right government. In the first round, Gen. Rumen Radev, 53, a former non-partisan chief of Bulgarian Air Force came in first with 25 percent of the vote and leads polls in the second round. The speaker of Parliament, Tsetska Tsacheva, a 58-year-old lawyer and member of Prime Minister Borisov's center-right party won 22 percent. For the first time, voting is compulsory.
