Włodzimierz Czarzasty, leader of the New Left party, assumed the position of Marshal of the Sejm after the recent parliamentary elections held on October 15, 2023. His election came as part of a coalition agreement among the Civic Coalition (KO), the New Left, PSL, and Poland 2050, which saw him take over the role from Szymon Hołownia after two years. Czarzasty was elected with a majority of 236 votes, although not without controversy, as one member of his coalition, Agnieszka Buczyńska, voted against him citing his communist past, along with some abstentions from other coalition members.

Following his election, Czarzasty has made several announcements regarding his plans and priorities as Marshal. He is likely to focus on establishing effective governance and maintaining coalition unity amid differing political opinions within the governing bodies. Additionally, there’s speculation about how his leadership style and policies will resonate with the public and influence future legislative agendas in a parliament shaped by a variety of political interests.

The survey regarding public perception reflects a critical moment for Czarzasty's leadership, as it serves as a barometer for his administrative effectiveness and his ability to navigate the complexities of Polish politics. Responses suggest varying degrees of approval and skepticism among the populace, which highlights the challenges Czarzasty may face in fulfilling his role and also impacts the stability of the coalition government he represents.
