A caretaker government is a temporary government. It manages the country until a new, permanent government can be formed.

After Her Time as Prime Minister
After her role as Prime Minister, Reneta Indzhova continued to be active in politics. In 1995, she ran for Mayor of Sofia, the capital city. She ran as an independent candidate, meaning she was not part of a specific political party. She finished third in that election.
In 2001, she also took part in the presidential elections. However, she did not receive much support in that race.
Years later, in 2014, she was in the news again. At that time, she was leading the National Statistical Institute of Bulgaria. She spoke out about political pressure she felt within the institution.
