Meetings are held separately with each of the electoral committees, in order of the results achieved in the elections. The president said he would ask politicians about their ideas on investment, the economy, energy and defence, and about potential candidates for prime minister.<\/p>\n
The first to arrive at the presidential palace were representatives of the Law and Justice party – Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, head of the Law and Justice club Ryszard Terlecki and party spokesman Rafa\u0142 Bochenek.<\/p>\n
“This was a consultative meeting; the President was keenly interested in the process of formulating the parliamentary majority. We presented our position on the matter, how it looks from our perspective, what discussions we are having and in which direction we want to proceed in terms of the next parliamentary mandate, our priorities for it. We had a very good, substantive, calm conversation with the President, who is concerned about the future of our homeland and the structure of the future parliament”, said the party spokesman after the meeting.<\/p>\n
Other guests of the president were representatives of the Civic Coalition – the head of the Civic Platform (PO) and the opposition’s candidate for prime minister Donald Tusk, as well as Barbara Nowacka (Initiative Poland), Adam Sz\u0142apka (Nowoczesna), Urszula Zieli\u0144ska (the Greens) and Marcin Kierwi\u0144ski (PO).<\/p>\n
The best chance of forming a new government is given to the Civic Coalition (157 seats), the Third Way (65 seats) and the Left (26 seats) – all these formations together have 248 MPs and jointly declare their will to take power. Law and Justice, despite winning the election (194 seats), does not have coalition capacity, so it is highly unlikely that it will be able to retain power.<\/p>\n
