In the parliament, before the debate on the first mandate to form a government, GERB leader Boyko Borissov said that until the last moment he really wanted to have a cabinet.  Borissov explained that he made concessions to "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" (PP-DB). 

Borissov said he agreed that Assen Vassilev shoud remain as finance minister. At the request of the Atlantic Council, he accepted Todor Tagarev to head the defense ministry and Rumen Radev to continue to lead the energy sector. 

Borisov said that the PP-DB wanted to appoint Rumiana Bachvarova as interior minister. The politician claims that at the behest of the co-chairman of the PP Kiril Petkov, ministers from abroad called him with the request that Bachvarova should be a minister. Borissov also said that PP-DB insisted on receiving the Ministry of e-governance.
