In a first reaction to election results in June 5 2009, Yane Yanev, leader of the Order, Law and Justice (OLJ) party said the election results made it clear Bulgarians wanted "a new order".

Yanev said the election results meant "the mafia tripartite coalition would have to go into opposition".

Despite satisfaction over the election outcome and the results his party was expected to have achieved, Yanev said there had been "immense abuse" in the elections.

Yanev said that the party of Sofia mayor Boiko Borissov, the Citizens for the European Development for Bulgaria (GERB), was the unequivocal winner of the election and that the OLJ would back a GERB cabinet in Parliament.
