With 226 votes "for", no votes against and one "abstention" at an extraordinary meeting, the National Assembly of Bulgaria decided that the first mandate to form a government with Prime Minister candidate Mariya Gabriel from GERB-SDS ended unsuccessfully. According to the Constitution, a second exploratory mandate for forming a government is to be handed over.

On behalf of "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" (PP-DB) Atanas Atanasov confirmed their readiness to form a government with the second mandate "with a mutually acceptable candidate for prime minister, issued by the parliamentary group of GERB-SDS".

The 49th National Assembly is drained of power, said BSP leader Kornelia Ninova. "We don't want a third cabinet-forming mandate", emphasized Ninova.

It is clear that we are going to elections, everything else is a kind of a painful farce, said the co-chairman of the MRF Delyan Peevski in the parliament. "Mr. Borisov excluded the possibility of a second term. I exclude a third mandate if it is handed over to the MRF", added Peevski.
