The Joint Governance Council will work intensively, and after Tuesday, it will begin appointing deputy ministers and regional governors, said GERB leader Boyko Borissov in parliament. The Joint Governance Council is established as a decision-making mechanism in the coalition between GERB-SDS, BSP and There Is Such a People.

"I am very pleased that, together with my colleagues from There Is Such a People, BSP and Democracy, Rights and Freedoms-DPS, we conducted difficult and lengthy negotiations with an uncertain outcome. You know that we negotiated with Democratic Bulgaria for almost 15-20 days. GERB managed to lead the process and succeeded in forming a government", said Boyko Borissov. ''Before the ''assemblage'', we were doing joint programs with We Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria, but now we started from back to front. Until Wednesday evening, it was unclear whether we would have a government", Boyko Borissov commented, adding that all the parties in the coalition wanted to involve Democratic Bulgaria in the government.
