Marcin Horała elected Vice-Marshal of the Sejm
Marcin Horała, representing the Rozwój Plus club, has been elected as the new Vice-Marshal of the Sejm. In a vote held on September 18, 2026, Horała secured 254 votes, defeating the Law and Justice (PiS) candidate, Marcin Ociepa, who received 167 votes. The election involved 428 deputies, with an absolute majority requirement of 215 votes.
