Przemysław Czarnek was announced as the PiS candidate for prime minister during the party convention held on March 7th. His selection was made by the party leader Jarosław Kaczyński, amidst discussions of other possible candidates like Tobiasz Bocheński and mayors from local constituencies. Czarnek's nomination is viewed as a victory for the faction within PiS known as the 'maslarze', or 'butter faction', which advocates for a more pronounced rightward shift in the party's policies to win back voters who have shifted to other political groups, especially the Confederation led by Grzegorz Braun.
