The vote was scheduled for 13.30, but the group of ITN, which is coalition partner in the government, requested a 30-minute break, without explaining why. After that, Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov gave a briefing at which he announced the resignation of the government.

After Prime Minister Zhelyazkov‘s briefing in parliament, the vote of no confidence followed. Due to lack of quorum, the vote of no confidence was declared unsuccessful and the session was closed.
