Bulgarian President Rumen Radev has selected Goritsa Grancharova-Kozhareva, the deputy chairwoman of the Audit Chamber, to serve as acting prime minister and tasked her with forming an acting cabinet. Radev's announcement on August 9 comes after political parties failed in three efforts to form a cabinet, following an inconclusive June 16 election. Radev also said that another snap poll will likely take place on October 20. It will be the seventh general election in three years in the European Union's poorest country.
