This means that Bulgarians will have to head to the polls to elect the parliament for the eighth time since April 2021.

Former prime minister Boyko Borisov’s center-right GERB party was negotiating with three smaller factions in the parliament: the centrist Democratic Bulgaria, the left-wing Bulgarian Socialist Party, and the populist There Is Such a People.

The wide coalition would require each party to make concessions and they all declared readiness to reach a consensus, but ultimately all came to naught when Democratic Bulgaria refused to accept GERB’s candidate for the post of prime minister.

GERB put forward the candidacy of Rosen Zhelyazkov, former speaker of parliament. Borisov himself announced earlier he would give up on the post of prime minister but insisted the position should be held by a representative of his party.

Not all the steps necessary to call snap elections have been exhausted yet but with the fragmented parliament, it seems extremely unlikely that the parties can come to an agreement on forming a coalition.

Experts expect the elections to be held in late March or early April, and this was predicted already after the results of the October 2024 elections.

The post of prime minister in a caretaker capacity has been held by Dimitar Glachev since April 2024. This is the second time he has served as prime minister.
