The vote in Ostrów was simply the icing on the cake within the lengthy marketing campaign that President Duda led on behalf of his minister and colleague. Though the top of state ought to positively not get entangled within the political campaigns of 1 celebration, Andrzej Duda traveled all through Larger Poland. And what? And nothing. Wojciech Kolarski received 49,000. votes, properly over twice lower than Maląg (115,000).
In actual fact, the presidential favourite had a lot decrease help than the European parliamentary veteran of PiS (in Brussels for 20 years, within the first time period nonetheless from the Samoobrona listing) Ryszard Czarnecki, who gained 66,000 from the second place on the listing. votes. Nonetheless, this consequence additionally highlights the success of Maląga – a politician with little expertise (she turned a minister and MP solely in 2019).
Andrzej Duda likes to emphasise the nice help he obtained in 2020 – over 10 million votes is a really nice consequence. Nonetheless, that was 4 years in the past and Andrzej Duda’s potential on the Polish political scene has apparently weakened. Or possibly the Larger Poland voters had no mercy for the president? Suffice it to say that his candidate was additionally overtaken by Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus, who began from the New Left listing (57,000 votes have been sufficient to win the seat) and Anna Bryłka from Konfederacja, who received as many as 111,000. votes and also will go to Brussels, to not point out Ewa Kopacz (187 thousand votes) or Michał Wawrykiewicz (119 thousand) from the KO listing. These outcomes ought to present Andrzej Duda with meals for thought.
The defeat of Kurski and the European Parliament veterans
However PiS’s outcomes are additionally meals for thought for Jarosław Kaczyński. And it is actually massive. Let’s begin with Mazovia (with out Warsaw), as a result of it is actually fascinating right here. PiS has two seats right here. One for Adam Bielany, and the opposite – and it is a sensation – for Jacek Ozdoba. The 32-year-old politician of Zbigniew Ziobro’s Sovereign Poland, ranging from fifth (!) place on the listing, received 54,000. votes and overtook Jacek Kurski.
However let’s take a broader look, as a result of the post-election image is admittedly grim for Kurski. He’s a politician who actually has no issues with recognition, and was additionally well-known for his campaigning prowess. In the meantime, from second place on the PiS listing, it solely took sixth place (barely 32,000 votes). He was overtaken by Daniel George Milewski, who began in final place. The rising star of PiS (34 years previous) from Mińsk Mazowiecki misplaced the European Parliament mandate by a hair, profitable 50,000. votes. Kurski was additionally overtaken by MP Maria Koc, who’s in style in japanese Mazovia (46,000), and even Anna Kwiecień, MP from Radom, who began from fourth place (33,000 votes). It is in all probability arduous to think regarding a worse consequence for “Kura”. Proper following President Andrzej Duda, he’s the largest loser of those elections in PiS.
What did voters counsel?
Not the one one. The leads to the Łódź Voivodeship are additionally very fascinating. There, PiS chief was Witold Waszczykowski. This raised critical doubts from the start, as a result of the previous Minister of International Affairs and MEP was significantly unwell over the past time period. It appeared that regardless of the primary place, he was in peril of failure, and he is perhaps overtaken by President Kaczyński’s pet Joanna Lichocka, who began from the “two” place. Nothing of that. The mandate was received by Waldemar Buda (41) from fifth (!) place on the PiS listing. And in what model. He received 103 thousand votes – greater than Waszczykowski (49 thousand) and Lichocka (41 thousand) mixed. Buda is Mateusz Morawiecki’s man, not too long ago he turned well-known for a disgusting, homophobic joke made to Krzysztof Śmiszek.
The leads to Decrease Silesia will definitely present critical meals for thought for the PiS president. There, the best consequence was achieved by Michał Dworczyk, who began from the “three” (123,000 votes). And this even though Jarosław Kaczyński was clearly in opposition to the candidacy of the previous head of the chancellery, Mateusz Morawiecki. In the meantime, Dworczyk jumped over Anna Zalewska (108,000 votes from the primary place). The results of the previous Ministry of Training was sufficient to win a mandate (the second for PiS in Decrease Silesia). Beata Kempa (86,000 votes from second place) was lacking.
PiS’s lead to Pomerania can also be greater than stunning. A European parliamentary veteran (she first sat there in 2004 and constantly since 2014), former Minister of International Affairs Anna Fotyga, misplaced there to the fourth (!) on the listing, Piotr Müller. It is true that it was by a hair’s breadth, as a result of lower than 5,000 individuals determined. votes. Nonetheless, Fotyga was a certainty. And 35-year-old Müller, though he comes from Pomerania, has been related to Warsaw for years. And Mateusz Morawiecki, whose spokesman he was.
It was additionally near a sensation within the district connecting the Warmian-Masurian and Podlaskie voivodeships. The seat there will probably be received by Maciej Wąsik, who begins from primary. Former deputy head of the Ministry of Inside and Administration, who misplaced his parliamentary mandate following his conviction for failure to satisfy duties and abuse of energy through the CBA’s investigation of the so-called land scandal through the first PiS authorities. To reward him for this, the president gave him a spot on the lists to the European Parliament. And Wąsik will go to Brussels, however he was nearly taken away by Adam Andruszkiewicz (33 years previous), ranging from the “three”. The primary one received 85,000. votes, and the second 78 thousand. Nonetheless, he was fully defeated – regardless of a lavish marketing campaign during which he was supported by Jarosław Kaczyński and Beata Szydło – MEP Karol Karski. He solely received 38,000. votes.
There might possibly be extra examples of peculiar outcomes. Already following this quick listing, it’s clear that PiS voters weren’t influenced by the celebration’s suggestions or the authority of Jarosław Kaczyński or President Duda. After they did not observe the instructions, they made their very own decisions.
