The most important thing is to find the right formula for a lasting majority and the implementation of a governance program with clear priorities, said Andrey Gurov of the We Continue the Change party about the third mandate for the formation of a government to be handed over by the President in accordance with the Constitution. In Gurov's opinion, this is only the first step, so it is too early to discuss the appointment of a prime minister.

Vladislav Panev of Democratic Bulgaria said that We Continue the Change, the largest parliamentary group, should appoint a prime minister after discussions with its coalition partners.

Movement for Rights and Freedoms representative Yordan Tsоnev reiterated his party's position, which calls for early parliamentary elections, while the second parliamentary group GERB-UFD has already declared that it wants to return the second mandate as soon as possible.
