The vote of no confidence in the cabinet of Nikolai Denkov was rejected by parliament. It was requested by the opposition - the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), There is Such a People and Vazrazhdane, on the grounds of "government failure in the energy sector". 143 MPs voted against the no-confidence motion and 71 voted for it out of 214 who took part in the vote. MPs from GERB, We Continue the Change (PP-DB) and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms supported the government. 

For the vote to pass, it had to be supported by at least 121 votes in the 240-member parliament.
