“For us this election has to be the last for the coming years. No more compromises with the people, with society or with the political system should be made,” said GERB leader Boyko Borissov addressing the party’s youth organization in Plovdiv.

If the other colleagues are responsible this should be the last election for them too so a government can be formed after this election, he said. “We need to sit down and reach agreement – if I have come second then I should go and support the one who is first, if I am first, I should ask for support from the one who is second and who is third. You can’t have the one that is 5th or 6th or 7th dictate policy. That is not what democracy is about,” Boyko Borissov said.

Once the second exploratory mandate for the formation of a government is handed back unfulfilled on 22 July, President Rumen Radev has to choose which of the smaller parliamentary forces to hand the third mandate to. If the third mandate fails too then the country heads for snap elections.
