Internal tensions within Poland's Law and Justice (PiS) party escalated when party president Jarosław Kaczyński issued an ultimatum for members to withdraw from external political associations, specifically targeting Mateusz Morawiecki’s ~~"Rozwój Plus."~~ ‘Rozwój Plus.’ While Morawiecki expressed loyalty to the party's agenda, 45 PiS parliamentarians signed a letter rejecting the ultimatum. Public opinion indicated a preference for Morawiecki to form his own party. Following these internal disputes, the broader political landscape showed signs of realignment. Electoral projections in the Rybnik district suggested a decline for PiS, with potential mandate losses. Concurrently, the Polish People's Party (PSL) announced it would not run on joint lists with the Civic Coalition (KO), citing disagreements over political direction and the KO's shift toward the left. Expanding on this electoral separation, PSL Deputy Leader Urszula Pasławska confirmed the party will not run on joint lists with the Civic Coalition in the 2027 parliamentary elections. Pasławska stated the PSL intends to maintain its identity as a centrist, more conservative formation, noting that the Civic Coalition has shifted significantly toward the left. She also expressed skepticism regarding Szymon Hołownia appearing on PSL lists and criticized the ‘Rozwój Plus’ movement, characterizing it as a ‘minor version of Law and Justice (PiS).’
