The eighty-seventh Cabinet of Bulgaria (in office from July 27, 2009 to March 13, 2013) was a minority government chaired by Boyko Borisov. The government was formed after Borisov's party, GERB, won the 2009 parliamentary election. It remained in power relying on support from the opposition parties for almost four years before resigning following nationwide protests.
Following the election of Yordanka Fandakova as mayor of Sofia, she was released from the post of Minister of Education and Science on November 19, 2013. She was replaced by Sergei Ignatov, her former Deputy Minister.
Following the resignation of Rumiana Jeleva from the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs the following cabinet shuffle took place on January 27:
On the 18th of March Tomislav Donchev was appointed Minister without portfolio, responsible to administer the relief funds from the European Union.
On the 21st of April Anna-Maria Borisova (an independent up to that point) was appointed Minister of Health after the dismissal of Bozhidar Nanev.
On September 29 the most recent addition to cabinet, Borisova, resigns, and is succeeded by Stefan Konstantinov.
On December 20, Bozhidar Dimitrov tenders his resignation, effective February 4, 2011. No successor was chosen.
Aleksandar Tsvetkov resigned from his post on May 18 and was succeeded by Ivaylo Moskovski.
Having won his party's nomination for the 2011 presidential election three days earlier, Rosen Plevneliev resigns as Minister of Regional Development and Public Works on September 7. He was replaced by Lilyana Pavlova. Margarita Popova, having been nominated for candidate for vice-president for the election, stepped down from her position as Minister of Justice. On November 30, Diana Kovacheva was approved by the National Assembly to take up her portfolio.
