Second Borisov Government
The ninety-fourth Cabinet of Bulgaria took office on November 7, 2014. It was a coalition government chaired by Boyko Borisov. The government was formed after Borisov's party, GERB, won the 2014 parliamentary election. As GERB won 84 out of the 240 seats in the National Assembly, they were compelled to form a coalition to legally govern.
Formation
After being tasked by President Rosen Plevneliev to form a government, Borisov's GERB allied with the Reformist Bloc to form a government and got support from the Alternative for Bulgarian Revival and also had the outside support of the Patriotic Front. The cabinet of twenty ministers was approved by a majority of 136–97. Borisov was then chosen as prime minister by an even larger vote of 149–85. Borisov became the first person to be elected twice as prime minister in the recent history of Bulgaria. Ministers with Reformist Bloc support are members of Democrats for a Strong Bulgaria, Union of Democratic Forces, Bulgaria for Citizens Movement and Bulgarian Agrarian National Union.Vuchkov Resignation
On 4 March 2015, the Minister of Interior Veselin Vuchkov resigned.

On 11 March, Vuchkov was replaced by Rumyana Bachvarova, who also kept her position as a Deputy PM.Ivanov Resignation and Protests
