President of Poland nominates Morawiecki for PM, entrusts him with forming government

President of Poland Andrzej Duda has nominated Mateusz Morawiecki for the position of Prime Minister, entrusting him with the mission of forming a government, reports RP.

Report informs via foreign media that the first meeting of the 10th Sejm and the meeting of the 11th Senate took place. According to the Constitution, during the first meeting of the Sejm, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki submitted his resignation.

The Law and Justice party, represented by Morawiecki, won 194 seats in the Sejm. This means that the Law and Justice party needs to seek coalition partners, but none of the groups that made it to the Sejm expressed a desire to form a coalition.

Afterward, Duda entrusted Mateusz Morawiecki with the mission of forming a government. The president of the country noted that the last eight years have been good for Poland.

"Ahead are significant tasks, especially for those who remain in politics, who will work in the Sejm. The Prime Minister has again received the task of forming a new Council of Ministers. I believe that the Prime Minister will form it as we discussed here, as he assured me, will find a majority to support the new Council of Ministers in the Sejm, and will be able to continue the development of the republic not only within the United Right but also in a broader parliamentary agreement," said Duda.
