Glavchev resigned on 17 November, after a scandal with BSP leader, Korneliya Ninova, who he forced her to leave a session for 'insulting' Prime Minister Boyko Borisov in a declaration.

On 12 July 2023 Glavchev was nominated for Head of the Chamber of Audit by the GERB-SDS parliamentary group.

On 31 July, Glavchev officially began his 7-year term, being welcomed by Acting Head of the Chamber of Audit, Goritsa Granzharova-Kozharova.

Glavchev's election was surrounded by some controversy, due to the fact that his predecessor, Tsvetan Tsvetkov, was unconstitutionally removed from his position.

On 28 March 2024, after the failure of government talks following the resignation of the Denkov Government, Glavchev attended a meeting with President Rumen Radev.According to the newly passed constitutional amendments, Glavchev, as the Head of the Chamber of Audit, was eligible to be selected by the President to serve as caretaker Prime Minister.

The following day, Radev officially announced Glavchev as The Caretaker Prime Minister-designate, inviting him for another meeting on 30 March.

On 30 March, Radev officially presented Glavchev with the responsibility of forming a caretaker government, with Glavchev lamenting that while the position may be difficult for him, he will aim to form a politically neutral caretaker cabinet.

In comments to the press following the meeting, he outlined that he will look for experts within the Ministries who had a "good reputation within society" and insisted that his cabinet would remain politically neutral and committed to "Euroatlanticist" values.

According to a bill passed by the National Assembly on 29 March, Glavchev would be allowed to take an unpaid leave from the Chamber of Audit and then regain the position following his premiership.
