The political party Poland 2050 has officially fractured into two distinct factions, the 'Center' Club led by Paulina Hennig-Kloska and the 'Distinct Center' led by Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz. This split comes after weeks of public disputes, accusations of betrayal, and allegations of undemocratic tactics among members. The fracture was formalized on February 18, 2026, when three senators and 15 members of parliament announced their departure from the party to form the 'Center' parliamentary group.

Among those who left are prominent figures such as Ryszard Petru and Aleksandra Leo, indicating a significant shift in support within the party. Currently, Poland 2050 retains 31 members in its parliamentary group, suggesting that despite the split, the original party has not collapsed entirely. However, the defections reflect a growing dissatisfaction with the party's leadership under Szymon Hołownia, who has struggled to create a stable formation that can effectively compete with larger parties, such as PiS and PO.

The implications of this split could be considerable for the future of Poland 2050 and its political strategy. Without a cohesive leadership and direction, the party may struggle to maintain its influence and voter support in the face of challenges posed by its competitors. The emergence of new factions could also reshape the landscape of Polish politics, leading to further fragmentation or possibly new alliances as parties maneuver to position themselves ahead of upcoming elections.
