The caretaker Interior Minister Boyko Rashkov will also remain in office in the regular cabinet, Kiril Petkov, nominated for prime minister by the winning party "We Continue Change" (PP), told bTV. He declined to mention other names being discussed for ministers from the four negotiating political forces (PP, BSP, "There is such a people" (IN) and "Democratic Bulgaria"). However, it is clear that each of them will have representatives in the government, as well as a deputy prime minister. 

In Kiril Petkov's words, the list of ministers in the coalition's draft cabinet will be ready next week. The PP will propose Asen Vassilev to head the finance ministry and become deputy prime minister.
