President Rumen Radev appointed Bulgarian National Audit Office Vice-President Goritsa Grancharova-Kozhareva as the next caretaker Premier. The constitution does not specify a deadline for the caretaker Prime Minister to present the cabinet lineup, but the President has requested this to be done by August 19 in order to schedule the elections for October 20.
Earlier, Dimitar Glavchev withdrew his declared readiness to take on the role of caretaker Prime Minister for a second time to reduce political tensions.

Movement for Rights and Freedoms Chairman Delyan Peevski wished the new Premier strength to withstand thе Prime Minister to withstand the immense pressure that, according to him, will be placed upon her. "I am convinced that there will be an attempt to control the Interior Ministry and the Ministry of Electronic Government", he added.
