- Bulgarian President Iliana Iotova gave the mandate to form a new government to There is Such a People, the party of former President Rumen Radev.
- There is Such a People won 44.7% of the vote in the April parliamentary elections, one of the most convincing victories in history.
- Radev (62) is considered a pragmatic, pro-Russian leader who has criticized EU sanctions and opposes Bulgarian military support for Ukraine.
- The elections were called after the previous government tried to push through a controversial budget, sparking mass protests.
- The result could end a period of political instability that led to eight elections in five years.
