The 2021–present Bulgarian political crisis is an ongoing period of political instability in Bulgaria, which has seen the country face eight parliamentary elections over five years: April 2021, July 2021, November 2021, October 2022, April 2023, June 2024, October 2024 and April 2026.
The political crisis has resulted in three short-lived governments, respectively led by Kiril Petkov, Nikolai Denkov, and Rosen Zhelyazkov. In the absence of a coalition government, Bulgarian presidents Rumen Radev and Iliana Iotova appointed various caretaker Prime Ministers, including Stefan Yanev, Galab Donev, Dimitar Glavchev, and Andrey Gyurov.
