Will a local government official be the candidate for prime minister from PiS? The party points to Kaczyński's favorite
Journalist Jacek Gądek explores the candidacy of Lucjusz Nadbereżny for the Prime Minister position from the Law and Justice party (PiS) as a potential unifier before the upcoming elections, with Przemysław Czarnek also being considered.
In the lead-up to the announcement of the Law and Justice party's (PiS) candidate for Prime Minister, journalist Jacek Gądek highlights Lucjusz Nadbereżny as a likely front-runner. According to Gądek's discussions with PiS representatives, Nadbereżny has been identified as a potential candidate who could undertake the challenging mission of unifying the party ahead of the approaching elections. Additionally, another candidate, Przemysław Czarnek, well known in public opinion, is also a strong contender for the position.
Lucjusz Nadbereżny, despite not having held high-profile positions, is recognized for his commitment to PiS since joining the party in 2006. Now at 40 years old, he began his political career remarkably young, becoming the youngest councilor in Stalowa Wola at the age of 21. His mayoral elections in 2014, 2018, and 2024 were overwhelmingly successful, with support exceeding 70 percent, which speaks volumes about his popularity and effectiveness as a local leader.
Nadbereżny's loyalty to the PiS party has been evident, particularly during the SAFE issue, where he opposed a program that would have benefitted local manufacturing. His potential candidacy is significant not only because of his political history but also in the context of PiS's strategy to consolidate its position and ensure a strong candidate ahead of the forthcoming elections, making this an important development in Polish politics.
