Bulgaria’s National Assembly voted a resolution accepting the withdrawal of Prime Minister-designate Plamen Nikolov and declaring the unsuccessful completion of the cabinet-forming mandate of There is Such a People (ITN) party. Thus, President Radev can continue with the constitutional procedure and hand the second cabinet-forming mandate to GERB/SDS coalition. GERB/SDS already stated that they would immediately return the second cabinet-forming mandate.

 "ITN will not support the third cabinet-forming mandate", MP Philip Stanev said on behalf of his political party. “We have not yet decided whether to leave the plenary hall during the voting of the third cabinet-forming mandate”, noted Philip Stanev.
