Professor Nikolay Gabrovski, who was nominated for Prime Minister by GERB/SDS, is to propose a prospective cabinet and a short governance program. This was announced by Desislava Atanasova, chairperson of the largest parliamentary group. On Monday, Nikolay Gabrovski is expected to inform Bulgaria’s President that he is ready to fulfill the government-forming mandate. Desislava Atanasova believes that a cabinet can be formed with the first mandate.

The prospective cabinet is expected to be voted in Parliament on December 14 or December 15. A simple majority in parliament is required to approve a government. Parliament has to ensure the requisite quorum of 121 MPs to hold a sitting, which means that a new cabinet could be appointed with 62 votes in favor, Marta Mladenova reports.
