The candidate for prime minister, Rosen Zhelyazkov, nominated by the election winner Gerb-SDS, fell far short of a majority in a vote in parliament. This meant that two further votes were not held – on the structure and on the composition of a minority cabinet.
According to GERB leader Boiko Borissov, this was supposed to prepare Bulgaria for the introduction of the euro and continue the pro-Ukrainian course of the EU and NATO member state. Head of state Rumen Radev will now task the second strongest faction of the liberal Movement for Rights and Freedoms with forming a new government.
The Bulgarian constitution provides that a total of three government contracts can be awarded. If all three fail, there must be another parliamentary election. This would be the seventh since April 2021. Until a regular government is in place in Sofia, a transitional cabinet will run the government.
