The eighty-fifth cabinet of Bulgaria also known as the Tsar's cabinet ruled from July 24, 2001 to August 17, 2005. Although the National Movement Simeon II won half the seats in the 2001 parliamentary election, and therefore could have probably governed alone, a cabinet was formed as a coalition between the winners and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (141 seats out of 240). Although not formally in a coalition with the Tsar's party, the Bulgarian Socialist Party held two cabinet posts. Their members sat as independents.
