The People's Assembly in Sofia has confirmed a new, regular government. It replaces the transitional cabinet set up by President Rumen Radev before the new elections on 2 April.
60-year-old Nikolai Denkov of the PP party was elected prime minister. He was supported by 132 MPs from the ranks of the election winner GERB-SDS and the second-placed bloc PP-DB. There is no coalition agreement, only a "gentlemen's agreement", as both sides often emphasize.
