First Cabinet of Mateusz Morawiecki. He remained in office in the
Second Cabinet of Morawiecki until 6 October 2020. On 24 July 2024 he joined

big tent option for the right-wing, believing that the biggest right wing opposition party Law and Justice has lost its coalition-making abilities. ==References==
