Chaired by prime minister Kiril Petkov, it was approved by the National Assembly on 13 December 2021 after the government formation as a result of the November 2021 parliamentary election.

[1] It was a so-called Vivaldi coalition, named after composer Antonio Vivaldi due to his work The Four Seasons which corresponds to the different political views present in this coalition: liberals (PP and Yes, Bulgaria!, as part of DB), socialists (BSP), greens (ZD, as part of DB) and conservatives (ITN and DSB, as part of DB).

On 1 July, Bulgarian President Rumen Radev asked Asen Vasilev to form a new government,[3] which Vasilev failed to do and new elections were scheduled to take place.

On 8 June the leader of ITN Slavi Trifonov aired a television announcement that his party is leaving the coalition, and thus turning the Petkov Government into a minority government.

[25] Several rallies in support of the government, as well as protests against it were held in the days coming up to the vote.
