GERB leader Boyko Borisov commented on media reports that "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" will offer positions to three former ministers in its draft cabinet - Nikolay Denkov for Prime Minister, Asen Vasilev for Finance Minister and Kiril Petkov for Deputy Prime Minister in charge of services as well as Atanas Atanasov for interior minister.


Borissov pointed out that there is no prime minister more prepared than him, but he has stepped back from the front row in order to give a chance to form a government. According to him, his example should be followed by former Prime Minister Kiril Petkov and former Finance Minister Asen Vasilev, in order to create an "expert cabinet based on responsibility that can rule for four years".
