The first two elections failed to result in a governing coalition, but the November 2021 election saw Kiril Petkov create an unstable government which lasted only 7 months. The October 2022 snap election resulted in another gridlock, leading to the April 2023 election. The 2023 election saw the creation of a rotating government between the GERB–SDS and PP–DB alliances, but the failure of the rotation caused June 2024 election.
