President Rumen Radev will hand the third mandate for forming a government to BSP for Bulgaria on Monday, Radev’s press secretariat said. The coalition must nominate a candidate for prime minister within 7 days. He is then is constitutionally mandated to present a draft government within a "reasonable time". The Constitutional Court has an Interpretative Judgment No. 20 of 1992 that this must also be done within 7 days.

The third term is the last opportunity to form a regular cabinet in the 48th parliament, after the first and second parliamentary forces GERB and "We Continue the Change" failed.

GERB party has taken a resolution not to participate in governance together with BSP. The relations between "We Continue the Change" and their former coalition partners are also complicated because of the changes in the Electoral Code.
