The Zhelyazkov Government is the 105th and current cabinet of Bulgaria. It was approved by the parliament of Bulgaria on the 16th of January, 2025.[4] The cabinet is a minority coalition government with ministers nominated from GERB, BSP–OL and ITN.[5]

The cabinet was initially elected with the support of APS. However, on 16 April 2025, following disagreements with the government and the passing of legislation with DPS–NN, the party announced it would no longer support the government.[6] The government's primary commitment has been the country's entry into the eurozone in 2026.[7][8][9]

Though the government is not committed to creating a formal deal, it has been widely reported on and accepted that the government's majority depends on the support of DPS–NN.[10][11][12][13] The government has also received partial support from PP–DB in no-confidence votes, due to the coalition supporting the government's target of Bulgaria's accession to the eurozone.[14][15][16]
