Boyko Borissov, leader of GERB, has downplayed the importance of selecting an acting prime minister, emphasizing that the party does not prioritize who assumes the role.

Boyko Borissov, the leader of GERB, confirmed that his party will engage with "There Is Such a People" (TISP) for a meeting on Saturday, aimed at discussing the final mandate for forming a government.
