He said he would present his proposed composition within seven to eight days as part of President Andrzej Duda’s task of forming a new government.
Despite winning the most seats in the Oct. 15 general election, the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) lost its ruling majority in both houses of parliament and has little chance of forming a coalition government as no other party appears to be interested in working with it.
But Morawiecki seems determined to try.
“This will definitely be a completely different government than the one that has fulfilled its obligations so far,” said M. Morawiecki.
“Why?” First of all, because I evaluate the results of the elections as follows: the voters decided that they want to end the Polish-Polish war: we want a cross-party government, maybe even a non-party one, we want a government that will be a government of balance,” he said.
Mr. Morawiecki said that this is why he is looking at the formation of his new government in such a way that it is “the most suitable from the point of view of the citizens, from the point of view of Poland – in other words, taking into account its program.”
He said that after the Polish public has chosen various parties and alliances, he is trying to select the most valuable elements of their various programs and create from them “ten commandments on Polish issues” for the next four years, with the aim of “making a very positive change in the lives of Poles, despite the great crises that are constantly happening around us”.
The October 15 elections were jointly won by PiS’s opposition parties, which want to form a coalition, and have a majority of 248 seats in the Seimas. The leaders of these parties have signed a coalition agreement, said they are ready to govern, and say they want to repair foreign alliances and unblock billions of euros in EU funds frozen by PiS’s curbs on the independence of the judiciary.
The coalition’s candidate for prime minister is 66-year-old Donald Tusk, an experienced politician who served in this position from 2007 to 2014. From 2014 to 2019, he served as the President of the European Council.
Piotr Mueller, the representative of the PiS government, admitted that it will be extremely difficult for M. Morawiecki to form a new government. However, he told TVN24 that it was Mr. Morawiecki’s duty to try after Mr. Duda first entrusted him with this mission, as PiS received more votes than all other individual parties.
If Mr. Morawiecki fails, Mr. Tusk will be the next prime minister, Mr. Mueller said.

Poland’s Shifting Political Landscape: A New Era of Cooperation and Balance
The results of Poland’s October 15 general election have sent shockwaves throughout the country, marking a significant shift in the nation’s political landscape. Despite winning the most seats, the ruling conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party has lost its majority in both houses of parliament, paving the way for a potential change in government [[1]]. The election has opened up new opportunities for cooperation and balance in Polish politics, with the opposition parties securing enough votes to form a majority [[1]].
A Cross-Party Government: The Future of Poland
Prime Minister Morawiecki, determined to form a new government, has expressed his desire to create a cross-party or non-party government, prioritizing the needs of Polish citizens and the country as a whole [[2]]. This approach marks a departure from the PiS’s populist approach, which has dominated Polish politics in recent years. Morawiecki aims to distill the most valuable elements from various party programs, creating a set of “ten commandments on Polish issues” to guide the country’s development over the next four years [[2]].
Opposition Parties Unite: A Coalition Government in the Making
The opposition parties, led by Donald Tusk, have signed a coalition agreement and expressed their readiness to govern [[2]]. Their platform includes repairing foreign alliances and unblocking billions of euros in EU funds, which were frozen due to PiS’s curbs on the independence of the judiciary [[2]]. With a majority of 248 seats in the Seimas, the coalition is well-positioned to form a new government, should Morawiecki’s efforts fail [[2]].
A Shift in EU Affairs: Poland Regains Influence
The election outcome is also expected to impact Poland’s role in the European Union. With a new government, Poland is likely to regain influence in EU affairs, although the future government may not be an easy partner for the EU [[3]]. As Poland begins to repair its relationships with the EU, it may find itself playing a more significant role in shaping the bloc’s policies and decisions.
The Path Forward: Cooperation and Balance
As Poland embarks on this new era of cooperation and balance, the country can expect a more inclusive and collaborative approach to governance. The shift away from PiS’s populist approach marks a significant departure from the country’s recent political trajectory. With a focus on finding common ground and prioritizing the needs of Polish citizens, the future government is poised to bring about positive change and stability to the country.
