Rzepecki:

I Will Not Run in the Upcoming Parliamentary Elections on the PSL Ticket

Michał Olech

Following the signing of the Kukiz’15 and PSL agreement, I received an offer to run from the 1st spot in Konin (Greater Poland Voivodeship). Until yesterday, I was strongly persuaded to run from Konin. The program agreement includes single-member constituencies (JOW-y). I explained to Paweł Kukiz that I have never been to Konin and have no ties to that constituency. However, I was still being convinced to run in the Konin constituency - wrote Kukiz'15 MP Łukasz Rzepecki on social media. He added:
"So I have a question for Paweł Kukiz: where are those single-member constituencies? Ladies and gentlemen – I am an MP from the Sieradz constituency and I cannot run from Konin. I cannot betray you. What would I say to the people in Konin? In the Łódź Voivodeship, there is no agreement between Kukiz’15 and PSL. There have been no discussions. Nobody from Kukiz’15 is running in Łódź. PSL has 2 'number ones' out of 3, and PO has 1. So what kind of agreement is this? Members of the Kukiz’15 movement are outraged by the current situation, and there will be no consent from me for this, now or ever. I will not put my face to such an agreement."
- I also cannot endorse this due to the presence of Silesian autonomists on the PSL lists. Their views are unacceptable to me and should be outside of public debate. In light of the above, I inform you that for the aforementioned reasons, I will not run in the upcoming parliamentary elections on the PSL ticket - the parliamentarian emphasized.
