The parties of the tri-partite governing coalition are embarking upon the forthcoming election campaign with different strategies and goals. What is important for the BSP and the MRF is to score results, which will make it possible for them to come to office again, irrespective of the com ­position of the future governing coalition. What the opinion poll surveys indicate thus far is that the GERB Party will be the number one political party at the upcoming general election, which means that it will be the entity entrusted with the mandate to form the new government. Borissov’s constant repetition that under no condi­tions would he set up a coalition with the BSP and the MRF can now really come true in practice, given the fact that the UDF and DSB have already signed their unification. The decision of the two major right-wing parties DSB and SDS to run the elections on joint party slates has changed the electoral situation in the country. This makes the picture much clearer both in terms of the possible configurations at the next Bulgarian Parliament and the possible coalitions after the general election. The coalition between the UDF and DSB has all the chances of scoring a very good result, surpassing the sum of the results, which each of the two parties could score if it ran the election on its own
