Jarosław Kaczyński, the leader of the Law and Justice party (PiS), is currently working to distract from the internal conflicts plaguing his party by preparing to announce a candidate for prime minister. This announcement is seen as a strategy to calm the tensions between different factions within the party, namely the 'harcerze' (scouts) and 'maślarze' (masons), who have differing views on potential candidates. Kaczyński has stated that the decision will be made public within weeks but is already facing pressure to reveal it sooner, as journalists speculate on the possible candidates.

The candidate chosen by Kaczyński must not only secure the victory in the upcoming elections but also unify the patriotic electorate that is essential for the party's success. He emphasized that while past contributions are important, winning is paramount in this political climate. As the tension builds within PiS about who will be the figurehead for the next election, Kaczyński's careful handling of this decision is crucial to maintain party cohesion and morale.

Currently, there are significant divisions within the party regarding potential candidates. The rivals of the current Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, referred to as the 'maślarze', are pushing for alternative names like Przemysław Czarnek or Tobiasz Bocheński. However, the opposing faction, the 'harcerze', rejects both of these politicians, putting Kaczyński in a difficult position. His ultimate choice will likely impact party unity and the chances of electoral success moving forward.
