Presidential elections. PiS will support a “non-partisan candidate”. Today is the convention and Kaczyński's speech

Citizens' meeting with the participation of the president PIS Jarosław Kaczyńskiduring which the decision regarding support for the non-partisan presidential candidate will be announced, will take place in Krakow at 4 p.m.

The meeting will take place in Hala Sokół – this is where PiS announced 10 years ago that the party's presidential candidate would be Andrzej Duda. PiS is to support a “non-partisan candidate for the office of President of the Republic of Poland.”

Four names of potential candidates appeared in PiS: Mariusz Błaszczak, Przemysław CzarnekTobiasz Bocheński i Karol Nawrocki. If we were to literally stick to the words “decision regarding support for a non-party candidate”, it would indicate that it might not apply to Czarnek, Błaszczak and Bocheński. Of the four, only Nawrocki is not a member of Law and Justice.

A few months ago, PiS established a special team to select the party's candidate for president. It was headed by Jarosław Kaczyński, and the team included: club head Mariusz Błaszczak, former Speaker of the Sejm Elżbieta Witekformer foreign minister Zbigniew Rau and PiS secretary general Piotr Milowański. The party also commissioned numerous studies to assess potential candidates – initially there were a dozen or so of them. The latest test results were to be delivered to the party headquarters in the middle of this week. The presidential elections will be held in May 2025. On Saturday, KO announced its presidential candidate. It will be the mayor of Warsaw and the deputy head of PO Rafał Trzaskowski. Moreover, the Speaker of the Sejm and the head of Poland 2050 have already announced their participation in next year's presidential elections Szymon HołowniaSławomir Mentzen from Konfederacja and Marek Jakubiak from the Free Republicans group.
