The Petkov Government, known as the Four-party coalition cabinet, was the ninety-ninth cabinet of Bulgaria. Chaired by prime minister Kiril Petkov, it was approved by the National Assembly on 13 December 2021 after the government formation as a result of the November 2021 parliamentary election. It was a Vivaldi coalition. The government became a Minority government on 8 June 2022, when ITN pulled out of the government, and its mandate ended in late June 2022. It was the first government in modern Bulgarian history to lose a vote of confidence. On 1 July, Bulgarian President Rumen Radev asked Assen Vassilev to form a new government, which Vassilev failed to do and new elections were scheduled to take place.
