Szymon Hołownia was chosen as Marshal of the Sejm for the new term, securing 265 votes. MPs from Konfederacja were among the supporters for the Polish 2050 politician, suggesting a possible agreement behind the scenes. Some reports indicate that allies from KO, Polski 2050, and PSL did not oppose Krzysztof Bosak’s bid for Deputy Speaker, with one KO member voting against. Hidden cameras in the Sejm captured a discussion between Krzysztof Bosak and Szymon Hołownia that appeared to outline elements of this plan. The footage also shows Hołownia exchanging a handshake with Sławomir Mentzen of Konfederacja.
Later in the evening, Bosak was elected Deputy Marshal of the Sejm, achieving the strongest support among the candidates for that role. A total of 272 MPs voted in favor, 27 voted against, and 153 abstained.
The question arises whether this vote marks a new cooperative arrangement between the Confederation and the coalition consisting of KO, PSL, Poland 2050, and the left. It invites speculation about a potential realignment in the Sejm’s political dynamics and whether the coalition considers such a shift as a strategic advantage.
