Gvozdeykov was expelled from the PP party following his decision to remain as Minister of Transport and Communications in the caretaker Glavchev Government, which succeeded the PP-led Denkov Government, without party approval. Gvozdeykov justified his move with the urgency of government continuity regarding a railway deal with the German Deutsche Bahn.[3]
On the 26th of August it was announced that Gvozdeykov would not be re-appointed to the Second Glavchev Government, and instead would be replaced by Krasimira Stoyanova as Caretaker Minister of Transport.[4] Subsequently, Gvozdeykov announced that he was ceasing his participation in politics.[5]
