Early parliamentary elections were held in Bulgaria on 9 June 2024,[2][3] to elect members of the National Assembly.[4] The election coincided with the European Parliament election on the same day.[2][3]

This parliamentary election was initially scheduled to be held before 12 June 2027; however, the planned rotation agreed to by GERB and PP–DB failed to materialise in March 2024, and no other government could be formed.

GERB–SDS had the best results, winning nearly 24% of the vote and 68 seats, but it did not obtain a majority in the National Assembly.[5] Voter turnout was 33%, which was the lowest turnout since the end of communist rule in 1989.[6]

The new elected 50th Parliament replaced the 49th Parliament,[7] when all elected members were sworn in on 19 June 2024.[8] The final of three government formation attempts failed on 5 August 2024.[9][10][11] On 9 August, the Bulgarian President as a consequence instead appointed Goritsa Grancharova-Kozhareva (Vice President of the Bulgarian National Audit Office) as the next caretaker prime minister.[12] Grancharova-Kozhareva was granted ten days to form a proposal for the next caretaker government to be appointed on 20 August 2024, and the upcoming next parliamentary elections were scheduled for 20 October 2024.[13]
