After the changes to the Constitution, the head of state can choose from among the Speaker of the National Assembly, the governor or deputy governor of the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB), the chairman or deputy chairman of the Audit Chamber and the ombudsman or his deputy.
After none of the three mandates to form a government was fulfilled, early parliamentary elections are coming.
