At today's national meeting of GERB, two months before the early parliamentary elections, party leader Boyko Borisov released two of his current deputies - the mayors of Sofia and Burgas Yordanka Fandakova and Dimitar Nikolov. Their places are taken by former Deputy Prime Minister Tomislav Donchev and Daniel Mitov - Borissov's nomination for prime minister of the GERB-SDS draft cabinet project, BNR reporter Violeta Ashikova informed.

"We have two very difficult months ahead of us and a lot of challenges backed by money of the oligarchy are facing us," Borissov said.

Speaking at the GERB forum, he said that it would be disastrous for the state if a government was not formed after the early elections. Borissov also promised full digitalization if his party ruled the country again.
