He received more votes than the socialist candidate [[Ivan Marazov]] and the Bulgarian Business Block candidate, [[George Ganchev]] in the first round. He then defeated Marazov in a runoff. In the first round of the 2001 presidential election he finished in second place, as [[Georgi Purvanov]] received 36.3%, Stoyanov received 34.9% and the third major candidate, [[Bogomil Bonev]] received 19.2%.

Later, however, Stoyanov returned to active politics. In 2005 he was elected member of the 40th National Assembly. After UDF's inadequate result at the elections (8.4 % of the popular vote and 20 out of 240 seats) he blamed party's leader [[Nadezhda Mihailova]] and criticized her policy. On [[October 1]] [[2005]] the UDF National Conference elected him Chairman. |
