GERB leader Boyko Borissov commented on the results of the parliamentary elections, saying nothing different would happen in the next election. "The people have not given anyone an independent right to rule. Almost 80% of those who voted told the sociological agencies that they want a government", Borissov pointed out.

Borissov believes that the most important thing at the moment is who is with Putin and who is on the side of Ukraine. He believes that over 2/3 of Bulgarians are in favor of Bulgaria's Euro-Atlantic orientation.

Borissov stressed that GERB would not govern together with the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF), with Vazrazhdane and "Bulgarian Rise" parties, but was ready for reaching compromises with the other parties on forming a government.
