[4] Ultimately, Raya Nazaryan and Andrey Tsekov proceeded into a second round, in which neither candidate managed to gain the necessary support for a majority.

[7] A third attempt was undertaken on the 15th of November with a similar outcome, although, unlike in prior rounds, ITN nominated Silvi Kirilov (who had been chairing the proceedings as the oldest MP) and MECh changed their position from voting in favour of all non-GERB candidates to abstaining.

[9] Thus, four candidacies were initially nominated: Raya Nazaryan from GERB-SDS, Petar Petrov from Revival, Natalia Kiselova from BSP - OL and Silvi Kirilov from ITN.

[11] Due to the high tension caused by the debate, Acting Speaker Kirilov scheduled a 30 minute break before voting.

[14] Tensions became especially high during the speech of Revival leader, Kostadin Kostadinov, who called DB marginal and dangerous, leading to heckling by Yes, Bulgaria MP, Manol Peykov.

[15] Following the first round, which yielded similar results, a long break was scheduled, during which MP Bozhidar Bozhanov claimed that representatives of the Democratic Bulgaria parties had agreed to support Kirilov as a concession to the current situation in parliament.

[17] Ultimately, however, Atanasov did not enter the second round, and received only 56 votes, with a similar outcome to previous attempts in the subsequent runoff between Kiselova and Kirilov.

[22] Hristo Gadzhev, from GERB, was elected with 165 votes, including all the MPs present from the GERB-SDS, PP-DB, DPS-NN, BSP-UL and DRF groups.

[22] Tsveta Rangelova (Revival) and Aleksandr Rashev (ITN), were similarly nominated, however did not receive support outside of their own parties and MECh.

[22] A number of amendments were passed in the temporary rulebook committee including: the introduction of mandatory drug and alcohol tests prior to every legislative session, as well as at the initiative of the Speaker or 1/3 of MPs; expansion of the reasons for closed sessions of the National Assembly as well as the ability of MPs to retain their positions in higher education institutions.

[24] Three candidacies were presented for the position of chair of the commission: Bogdan Bogdanov (PP-DB), Kosta Stoyanov (Revival) and Manol Genov (BSP-OL).

[24] Ultimately, Manol Genov was elected chair of the commission with 123 votes, coming from the parliamentary groups of GERB-SDS, DPS-NN, BSP-OL and DRF.

[24] A temporary committee was proposed by MECh MP, Borislav Petkov, to investigate the circumstances around the alleged outbreak of plague among sheep in the area of Velingrad.

On the 4th of December, GERB MP, Tervel Georgiev, announced that he intended to resign due to his role as a defense attorney.
