Third Borisov Government

The ninety-sixth Cabinet of Bulgaria took office on May 4, 2017. It was a coalition government that was chaired by Boyko Borisov. The government was formed after the Borisov's party, GERB, won the 2017 parliamentary election. However, GERB won only 95 out of 240 seats in the National Assembly and therefore needed to form a coalition in order to govern.

On 16 April 2021, the 44th National Assembly voted for his resignation with 156 votes in favor, 75 against and 9 abstentions. The government resigned and continued to serve until a new cabinet was appointed.

On 12 May 2021, the Government was dissolved.

Formation

The third Borisov government consisted of ministers from the ruling GERB party and the two leaders of the junior coalition partner United Patriots.
