Bulgarian parliament has approved the resignation of Prime Minister Nikolai Denkov, one day after he submitted his letter of resignation.
As many as 216 members of the 240-seat parliament voted for his resignation.
However, Denkov’s government would continue to act until a new government is elected, according to the constitution.
Denkov was nominated for his position by the We Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria (PP-DB) coalition, the second largest group in the parliament, which has 63 seats.
Denkov’s resignation fulfills the power-sharing deal reached between the PP-DB and the 69-seat group of GERB-UDF last June.

Negotiations between the GERB-UDF and the PP-DB related to the rotation are underway. (Xinhua/NAN)
