On Monday, the Law and Justice party completed its internal leadership selections for the parliamentary club, naming seven deputy heads to guide the group through the new term. Among the newly announced deputies were familiar faces such as the former club chief Ryszard Terlecki and the former Senate President Stanisław Karczewski, alongside Marek Suski and Marlena Maląg, who serves as the Minister of Family and Social Policy. The move signals a continued emphasis on experienced lawmakers within the party’s parliamentary framework as it prepares for a fresh legislative cycle.
As the Sejm and Senate transitions began, the Law and Justice Club also announced its leadership for the upcoming term. In a session aimed at setting the formal direction, Mariusz Błaszczak was elected head of the club for the new term. In addition to this central leadership role, Elżbieta Witek and Marek Pęk were presented as the party’s candidates for marshals of the Sejm and the Senate, respectively, underscoring the party’s intent to maintain a strong procedural voice in both chambers.
In another development, the Law and Justice Club named seven vice-presidents to assist in managing the party’s parliamentary agenda and internal coordination. A spokesperson for the party, Rafał Bochenek, confirmed the lineup in the afternoon. The appointed deputies were Ryszard Terlecki, Marek Suski, Marlena Maląg, Stanisław Karczewski, Marcin Ociepa, Michał Cieślak, and Barbara Bartuś, with Bartuś also taking on the role of secretary of the club. The slate reflects a balance of long-standing leadership figures and a newer generation, intended to sustain continuity while fostering renewal within the club’s ranks.
These internal selections occur as a broader political process unfolds in which the party seeks to organize its parliamentary team and prepare for governance. The leadership assignments, particularly the creation of vice-presidents and the choice of marshals, are designed to align the club’s operations with the party’s legislative priorities and to shape the flow of parliamentary business in the new term. By appointing experienced lawmakers alongside newer members, the party appears to be signaling a strategy that values both institutional memory and fresh perspectives in navigating the upcoming sessions and debates.
The changes came amid a period of heightened activity as the party formalizes its presence in the new legislative cycle. The leadership appointments are part of a larger effort to establish a cohesive parliamentary front, coordinate policy discussions, and manage the workload that accompanies a busy schedule of plenary sessions, committee meetings, and procedural votes. The emphasis on leadership roles within the party underscores the importance of clear direction and unified representation in the Sejm and the Senate, as lawmakers prepare to advance the party’s program and respond to the evolving political landscape.
Observers note that the combination of veteran leaders and newer faces in the deputy heads and vice-presidents roster could influence how the party negotiates with coalition partners, opposition actors, and the broader public. The leadership structure is expected to affect everything from scheduling and negotiations to messaging and strategic priorities as the club advances its political agenda over the coming months. In this context, the positions of marshals are particularly noteworthy, given their roles in guiding debates, maintaining order, and ensuring the orderly conduct of parliamentary business across both chambers.
Overall, the Monday announcements reflect a deliberate approach to parliamentary governance within the Law and Justice party. By consolidating experienced leadership with fresh talent, the club aims to deliver effective coordination, maintain procedural discipline, and present a united front as it engages with the legislative process and the public sphere across Canada, the United States, and beyond in shared democratic discourse.
