Observers online and in street conversations alike agree that the Confederation faltered in the parliamentary elections. Party officials acknowledge the same point. In the final pre-election polls, support for the Confederation hovered around the ten percent mark. Data from the National Electoral Commission showed a shift from 45.81 percent of districts reporting to seven point three six percent in support for the Confederation during the Sejm vote in Poland.
The Confederation’s disappointing showing in the parliamentary vote
According to the National Electoral Commission, based on data from forty-five point eight one percent of districts, seven point three six percent backed the Confederation in the Sejm elections across Poland. On election night Sławomir Mentzen expressed clear dissatisfaction with the results in conversations with the media. One of the Confederation leaders acknowledged the result as a personal defeat and indicated that he would scrutinize the reasons once more data became available.

Bosak on defending the positions taken
How does another party leader interpret the Confederation’s performance? Krzysztof Bosak contends that the outcome reflects a defense of the positions the party has staked out. He noted that a national result above seven percent, along with a high turnout, indicates that many voters chose the Confederation for the first time in these elections. In his view, this represents a strong defense of the party’s established stance. No other party has managed to sustain such positioning since Poland joined the European Union.
Bosak also asserted that the election campaign promise to avoid forming a coalition with either PiS or PO remained valid in the post-election period.
Korwin-Mikke on underutilized advantages
Janusz Korwin-Mikke offered another explanation for the Confederation’s defeat. He argued that the party failed to capitalize on its core advantages. According to him, the electorate was not reminded of key issues as forcefully as it could have been. He suggested that voters were influenced by a shift in attention and memory, noting that the party did not emphasize certain hardline stance points that might have resonated with its base. He contended that other political forces positioned themselves as defenders of Poland within the EU framework, and that perceptions of reliability impacted votes. He questioned how a group with around eleven percent of the vote could retreat from topics such as the death penalty, which a majority of voters reportedly supported, and why a party with this level of support would abandon such a priority.
