Following several snap elections, the Bulgarian National Assembly had failed to put together a long-lasting government since 'anti-corruption' parties made a breakthrough in the April 2021 election.[1][2] The 2023 elections saw little change from the 2022 one, with Boyko Borisov's centre-right GERB—SDS narrowly winning over the centrist PP–DB alliance. The far right Revival (VAZ) and the populist There is Such a People (ITN) made gains, with the latter re-entering the Assembly after it fell out in the 2022 election.[3][4]
On 22 May 2023 PP and GERB agreed to form a government with a rotational premiership. Nikolai Denkov, PP's candidate would be the Prime Minister for the first nine months of the government and Mariya Gabriel, the GERB candidate, would serve as Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister. After nine months, the two would switch positions.[5] Denkov resigned on 5 March, to allow Gabriel to become the new Prime Minister.[6]
The table below lists the political party groups represented in the 49th National Assembly.
