238 deputies were present in the hall.
After a three-hour debate, the structure of the draft cabinet was voted on. It was adopted by 134 votes to 104. Immediately after that at 16:18 p.m., after a series of explanations of the negative vote of the deputies from GERB-SDS, the draft cabinet was voted. It was adopted by 134 votes to 104.
Again, MPs from GERB, DPS and Vazrazhdane voted against.
With this vote, the mandate of the caretaker cabinet was terminated. Immediately afterwards, the oath of the new cabinet followed in the plenary hall.
On Friday, MPs from "We Continue the Change", BSP, "There Is Such a People" and "Democratic Bulgaria" collected the necessary signatures for an extraordinary session of the National Assembly.
