Speculation surrounds who will take on the role of President of the Senate, with Wirtualna Polska highlighting ongoing uncertainty after the Senate Pact’s victory. Despite the electoral win, it remains unclear if Tomasz Grodzki will be entrusted with the task again. Within the KO circle, there is serious consideration of Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska as a potential candidate, reflecting the maneuvering that often accompanies the chamber’s leadership choices.
One senior observer notes a willingness to continue serving the country in this capacity, yet stresses that important political conversations will shape the final decision. The Senate’s new lineup is expected to bring change: the Left is likely to establish its own club, Third Road may form two clubs or consolidate into a single club, and a group of six independent MPs is anticipated. In this evolving setup, the prospect of a renewed term for the incumbent carries both duty and honor.
In an interview with WP, Tomasz Grodzki expressed readiness to continue serving, but the outcome remains uncertain. WP also pointed to a strained relationship between Grodzki and Donald Tusk, underscoring the political realities that often accompany leadership transitions.
There is widespread belief that the Civic Coalition will nominate a candidate for the Senate chair, though this decision appears to be part of a broader strategic puzzle just beginning to unfold. The prevailing view among several key left-leaning figures is that Grodzki is unlikely to regain the position, at least in the near term.
WP highlighted Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska as the most frequently mentioned figure for the presidency of the Sejm, while Adam Bodnar’s name also surfaced. However, a prominent PO politician described this as more aspirational than definitive, signaling a candidacy driven by wishful thinking rather than a concrete commitment.
Additional context: discussions about the Senate presidency come amid broader reflections on party alignments, coalition dynamics, and the practicalities of governance in the next parliamentary term. As the electoral landscape settles, lawmakers and observers alike watch how the party blocs will form their leadership teams and how these choices will influence policy directions in the chamber.
