- This is an excellent opportunity for me to directly thank all my compatriots who participated in yesterday's parliamentary elections. I thank you very, very much for making the effort. Many people stood in queues, often for a long time, especially outside the country, to cast their vote. It was a beautiful celebration of democracy. We showed that democracy exists in Poland, and we especially showed it abroad. This refuted all claims that there were any problems with democracy in Poland. A beautiful celebration, a very high turnout, the highest in 30 years, around 60%. These are indeed great news. I thank everyone once again very, very much for heeding the appeals, for being determined - stated President Andrzej Duda in a conversation with journalists.

- I am enormously grateful to everyone who went and cast their vote. I congratulate all those who have obtained their mandates. I hope that the deputies and senators of the next term will work diligently for the Republic of Poland. I wish that all the matters you will implement will serve Poland and that the debate in the Sejm will proceed as harmoniously as possible, so that we truly build a community in this way. I know that political disputes exist and will exist, but I ask that these political disputes be conducted on the basis of culture, not only political culture but also the culture of being, and that this builds rather than destroys - emphasized PAD.
