]]> The centre-right opposition party led by Sofia Mayor Boiko Borisov has won Bulgaria’s parliamentary election by a wide margin, preliminary results show.

With 99.88% of ballots counted, the Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (Gerb) have 39.7% of the vote, 22% more than the governing Socialists.

But a BBC correspondent says that while it is a remarkable win, it is not enough for Gerb to govern alone.

Mr Borisov has vowed to end corruption and tackle the economic downturn.
