After lengthy procedural disputes, the National Assembly accepted the resignation of the third government led by Prime Minister Boyko Borissov. The decision was taken by 156 votes in favour. There were no votes against the resignation and no abstentions. MPs from the former ruling GERB party did not join the vote, although they were present in the plenary hall.

As the constitution states, the government's resignation was filed on the first day of work of the new parliament. The document was submitted by the administration of the Council of Ministers to the office of the National Assembly, without the Prime Minister or members of the cabinet appearing in person at the legislative institution, which provoked a lot of criticism and comments. The cabinet will continue to operate after the resignation until a new government is formed.
