Encyclopedic overview
Rumen Georgiev Radev (born 18 June 1963) is a Bulgarian politician and former Bulgarian Air Force officer who is the prime minister of Bulgaria. He previously served as president of Bulgaria from 2017 until his resignation in 2026, becoming the first head of state to resign in Bulgaria's post-Communist history.
Born in Dimitrovgrad, Radev served as commander of the Bulgarian Air Force before joining politics, holding the rank of major general. He won the 2016 Bulgarian presidential election as an independent candidate supported by the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), defeating GERB candidate Tsetska Tsacheva in the runoff. The first term of Radev's presidency often saw him in conflict with then prime minister Boyko Borisov of GERB. He secured a second term in the 2021 Bulgarian general election, with 66% of the vote in the runoff.
