Former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki leads the poll as the favored candidate for the Law and Justice party's (PiS) prime ministerial nominee with 31% support, significantly outpacing other candidates.
The article discusses the results of a recent poll regarding potential candidates for the prime minister nomination from Poland's ruling Law and Justice party (PiS). Former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki emerged as the front-runner, receiving 31% of the vote, nearly three times higher than the next candidate, Euro-deputy Patryk Jaki, who garnered 13%. This indicates Morawiecki's strong recognition and potential as a leading figure if PiS seeks to regain power.
Patryk Jaki is noted for solidifying his position among the younger conservative leaders, while current President Andrzej Duda secured 9% support in the same poll. Interestingly, a significant portion of respondents, 19.1%, chose "someone else" when asked about their preferred candidate, highlighting a possible disconnect with the candidates on the list or a desire for fresh leadership within the party.
Jarosław Kaczyński, the PiS leader, believes that naming a prime minister candidate will be crucial for the party's return to power. With almost one-fifth of respondents either unsure or seeking alternatives, the polling suggests that PiS may need to reassess its candidate strategy if it hopes to win the next elections effectively.
