"The victory of GERB-SDS is decisive. And we are determined to form a government," said GERB leader Boyko Borissov at a briefing. 

According to him, the registered turnout means that the new parliament is representative. "It is best for all leaders to sleep on it and not overestimate their own results," GERB leader Boyko Borissov said after the first unofficial results of the 27 October parliamentary elections.

He pointed out that his party's programme was "fundamental for all those who want to form a government". "GERB could make compromises, but under no circumstances would it replace the people's vote, Borissov insisted. I will govern with all those who support our programme. Tonight, all are potential partners, without the colleagues from Vazrazhdane - purely ideological on the basis of our political affiliations in Europe - I cannot allow it," Borissov said.
