Glavchev resigned on 17 November, after a scandal with BSP leader, Korneliya Ninova, whom he forced to leave a session for 'insulting' Prime Minister Boyko Borisov in a declaration.
According to the newly passed constitutional amendments, Glavchev, as the Head of the Chamber of Audit, was eligible to be selected by the President to serve as caretaker Prime Minister.
[20] In comments to the press following the meeting, he outlined that he will look for experts within the Ministries who had a "good reputation within society" and insisted that his cabinet would remain politically neutral and committed to "Euroatlanticist" values.
[21] According to a bill passed by the National Assembly on 29 March, Glavchev would be allowed to take an unpaid leave from the Chamber of Audit and then regain the position following his premiership.
[23] Following the meeting, Glavchev characterised the choice of Stoyanov as "difficult", but justified it with the recent resignation of the Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Zhivko Kotsev, leaving few options within the present administration.
[24] He was sworn in as caretaker prime minister in the presence of National Assembly on 9 April, with his mandate lasting until the conclusion of the government formations negotiations following the upcoming parliamentary elections.
[25] During a joint press conference with outgoing Prime Minister, Nikolai Denkov, he vowed to insure fair elections and stability in Bulgaria.
[31] In a follow up statement, he made clear that he was ready to further discuss the re-shuffle, however insisted that the political responsibility for the two ministers in question would shift to the President.
[32] On 19 April, Glavchev met with the President to discuss the proposed reshuffle, following which he confirmed that no agreement had been reached and the current ministers would continue to implement their duties.
[33] A few hours after the meeting, Mitov declared that he did not intend to become Caretaker Minister of Foreign Affairs, with Glavchev confirming that he did not have another candidate for the position prepared.
Following a scandal surrounding the governments decision to approve the construction of a private children's hospital in Sofia, Glavchev promised to alert the Prosecutors Office and even raised the possibility of removing the incumbent Minister of Healthcare.
[41] On 29 May, a directive written by Glavchev in his capacity as Foreign Minister, which instructed the Bulgarian representative to abstain during a vote on the resolution to classify the Srebrenica massacre as a genocide, was leaked to the press.
[45] On 5 June, Glavchev announced his intention for the parliament to decide who should lead the Bulgarian delegation to the NATO summit in July, unless a regular government had been formed.
[59] This triggered speculation about whether Dimitar Glavchev will remain as Caretaker Prime Minister or be replaced by another candidate provided by the recently passed constitutional amendments.
[61] On 9 August, President Radev officially announced that the deputy chairwoman of the Chamber of Audit, Goritsa Grancharova-Kozhareva, was selected to serve as the next Caretaker Prime Minister in place of Glavchev.
[62] In a statement shortly thereafter, Glavchev said that he supported this change as he no longer wished to fulfil the role of Caretaker Prime Minister due to the high degree of political polarisation and alleged slanderous insinuations against his person which he believed tarnished his reputation.
[67] On 27 August, Glavchev's Second Caretaker Government was officially sworn in, having mostly the same composition with the exception of the notable replacement of Kalin Stoyanov with Atanas Ilkov.
[76] Specifically, the decision by the caretaker cabinet to grant a government building on the street Vrachba as the new party office for DPS-Peevski within an expedited time frame was seen as a demonstration of such an attitide.
