At the end of last week, GERB-SDS announced that they were terminating the negotiations with Democratic Bulgaria, BSP-United Left and There is Such a People due to the refusal of Democratic Bulgaria to support a GERB candidate for prime minister. After Democratic Bulgaria’s refusal to support the first nomination of GERB-SDS for prime minister, that of party leader Boyko Borissov, GERB-SDS nominated Rosen Zhelyazkov, but his nomination was also rejected.
