Boyko Borissov, leader of the GERB-SDS coalition that won the parliamentary elections on October 27, announced he is withdrawing his candidacy for prime minister. At a briefing at the party headquarters he urged the PP-DB to announce who their equidistant candidate for prime minister was. Upon receiving the first mandate to form a government, the GERB-SDS coalition would return it, Borissov said.
Tomorrow, when the first session of parliament continues, GERB-SDS will once again propose the candidacy of Raya Nazaryan for Speaker of the National Assembly.
Yesterday, "We Continue the Change" once again said that "Boyko Borissov as Prime Minister of Bulgaria is an absolutely unacceptable proposal."

The PP-DB criticize GERB for not wanting to sign their proposed declaration for a "sanitary cordon" around Peevski and his DPS - New Beginning formation.
