This week in politics promises to be significant, potentially marking the final Sejm session and one of the last Senate sessions of this term. Furthermore, as announced by Jarosław Kaczyński, the upper house will establish a so-called verification committee.
The coming days will also see the continuation of the election campaign – Donald Tusk will appear in Gdańsk, and prior to that, he will participate in a debate with Rafał Trzaskowski as part of Campus Polska Przyszłości. The Left (Lewica) will present all their leading candidates, and the weekend will feature an electoral convention.

Deadline for Committee Registration. The National Electoral Commission (PKW) is accepting applications for the formation of electoral committees until Monday. To date, the commission has registered 58 electoral committees for the parliamentary elections.
The Left's Leading Candidates. On Tuesday, at a special press conference, the Left will unveil all their "leading candidates" – the leaders of their electoral lists across Poland. They will also present all their Sejm candidates within the framework of the Senate pact's left-wing allocation.
Tusk at Campus. On Wednesday afternoon, a special event will take place at Campus Polska Przyszłości – a debate between the Mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, and PO leader Donald Tusk.
Tusk in Gdańsk. On Thursday, a meeting with PO chairman Donald Tusk will be held in Gdańsk. He continues his tour of the country; last weekend he had a meeting in Sopot.
Senate and Sejm Sessions. A two-day Senate session will commence on Tuesday. The agenda includes, among other items, the so-called competency act proposed by President Duda, as well as an amendment to the Education Law. Subsequently, on Wednesday evening, the Sejm is scheduled to convene to consider the upper house's amendments to the aforementioned laws.
Formation of the Verification Committee. As announced by Jarosław Kaczyński over the weekend, the Sejm session mentioned will likely also see the appointment of members to the so-called verification committee, which is a committee tasked with investigating Russian influences.
PiS List Presentation. Most likely towards the end of the week – after the aforementioned Wednesday Sejm session – the ruling party will present the composition of its electoral lists, as well as its Senate candidates. The formal deadline for list registration is September 6th, which falls next week.
Third Way Convention. On Saturday, the Third Way will hold its programmatic convention in Katowice. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the leader of Poland 2050, Szymon Hołownia, will participate in a meeting with the residents of Radom. On Tuesday, he will join PSL leader Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a debate within Campus Polska Przyszłości.
Left Convention. On Saturday, in Łódź, the Left will hold its programmatic convention, inaugurating its election campaign. The leaders of the Left will present their program and its key points. The campaign slogan and logo for the Left will also be unveiled. After presenting their electoral program offer, they will embark on a celebratory tour across Poland, which will conclude on the last day of the campaign.
