The withdrawal of Prime Minister-designate Plamen Nikolov is part of the agenda of today’s sitting of Bulgaria’s National Assembly. Plamen Nikolov said that during the voting of his withdrawal he would not say more than what he wrote in his declaration. 

After the second meeting of heads of Parliamentary groups which took place yesterday, the Chairperson of the Parliamentary group of “Stand up BG! We are coming” Maya Manolova said that the Bulgarian National Assembly would close the procedure concerning the first government-forming mandate through rejecting Plamen Nikolov’s candidature for Prime Minister. Thus, this country’s President can continue with the constitutional procedure and hand the second government-forming mandate to GERB party.
