Early parliamentary elections were held in Bulgaria on 9 June 2024,[1][2] to elect members of the National Assembly.[3] The election coincided with the European Parliament election on the same day.[1][2]
This parliamentary election was initially scheduled to be held before 12 June 2027; however, the planned rotation agreed to by GERB and PP–DB failed to materialise in March 2024, and no other government could be formed.
GERB–SDS had the best results, winning nearly 24% of the vote and 68 seats, but it did not obtain a majority in the National Assembly.[4] Voter turnout was 34%, which was the lowest turnout since the end of communist rule in 1989.[5]
The new elected 50th Parliament replaced the 49th Parliament,[6] when all elected members were sworn in on 19 June 2024.[7] The final of three government formation attempts failed on 5 August 2024.[8][9][10] On 9 August, the Bulgarian President as a consequence instead appointed Goritsa Grancharova-Kozhareva (Vice President of the Bulgarian National Audit Office) as the next caretaker prime minister.[11] Grancharova-Kozhareva was granted ten days to form a proposal for the next caretaker government to be appointed on 20 August 2024, with the upcoming next parliamentary elections expected to be held on 20 October 2024.[12] On 19 August, the proposed Grancharova-Kozhareva caretaker government however was rejected by the Bulgarian President, as he opposed the proposal to allow the controversial figure Kalin Stoyanov to continue as interior minister.[13][14] On 27 August, the President instead issued a decree to appoint the Second Glavchev Government as the next caretaker government to replace the First Glavchev Government (with 17 out of 20 ministers being reappointed), and scheduled a new round of early parliamentary elections to be held on 27 October 2024.[15]
