site.bta President Radev to Mandate GERB-UDF's PM-Designate to Form Cabinet

President Rumen Radev will present a mandate for cabinet formation to a person named by GERB-UDF, the biggest parliamentary group, at noon on Monday, Radev's press secretariat said. The step comes after last week's consultations between President Radev and the parliamentary groups as required by the Constitution.

Nikolay Denkov tendered his Cabinet's resignation on March 5 to open up the path to the government's rotation, as agreed between Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria (CC-DB) and GERB-UDF  in a joint declaration on June 6, 2023 when the Denkov government was voted in office. Back then, the two formations agreed that Denkov and Deputy Prime Minister Mariya Gabriel would rotate as prime minister and deputy prime minister over a nine-month period.
