Three months after its start, the 49th National Assembly elected the chairs of 22 out of 25 parliamentary standing committees. The largest number of committees, 14, will be chaired by GERB-SDS, the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) - 5, and We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria (PP-DB) - 3 committees.

Vazrazhdane Party, the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) and There is Such a People (ITN) boycotted the procedure by refusing to nominate their representatives, and left the chamber. They accused the majority of backroom deals.
