About Boyko Borisov

Bulgarian Prime Minister who resigned in February 2013 following a series of protests against him and his government. He was the Mayor of Sofia from 2005 to 2009 and he is also a football player who holds the record for the oldest player ever to appear for a Bulgarian professional club.

Boyko Metodiev Borisov is a Bulgarian politician serving as the prime minister of Bulgaria since 2017, previously serving that role from 2009 to 2013 and from 2014 to 2017, making him Bulgaria's second-longest serving prime minister to date. Borisov was elected Mayor of Sofia in 2004. In December 2005, he was the founding chairman of the conservative political party Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria, becoming its lead candidate in the 2009 general election. Borisov led GERB to a landslide victory in 2009, defeating the incumbent Socialist Party, and resigned as mayor of Sofia to be sworn in as Prime Minister. He resigned in 2013, after nationwide protests against the government's energy policy, but after leading GERB to victory in the 2014 general election, he became Prime Minister again. His second term ended similarly to his first, after Borisov resigned in January 2017, this time following GERB's defeat in the 2016 presidential election.
