Brudziński:
Whether there will be any room for maneuver in the mandate distribution to talk about continuing to govern – that remains to be seen
- You have rightly noted – we won. I will call it a success, if only for the reason that this is my third post-election Monday in your studio; I accepted this invitation in 2019, and in 2020 during the presidential elections – stated Joachim Brudziński in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.
- Late polls show essentially the same thing [as exit polls]; if they are confirmed, then no matter how you look at it, we won. This is indeed largely, but above all, PiS's fourth parliamentary election victory since 2005, and the third consecutive victory. As for whether there will be any room for maneuver in the mandate distribution to talk about continuing to govern, that remains to be seen – he continued.

Brudziński:
There is One Undisputed Winner
- There is one winner, and it is undisputed, and I don't think you, Mr. Editor, will be able to deny it. This winner is the award, it is society. The level of turnout we managed to achieve shows that the nation has woken up to all politicians, to the entire political class. It clearly indicated that you can prance and jump around all you want, but if we go to the polls, we can sweep you away in a single day – stated Joachim Brudziński on RMF FM.

Brudziński:
For Me, Morawiecki is the Obvious Candidate for Prime Minister
- A custom has been established over the years since 1989, or rather since the 1990s, that subsequent presidents have entrusted the mission of forming a government to the leaders of the parties that won. Therefore, it seems obvious to me, though of course it is not my prerogative and I can only think so, that President Duda will entrust this mission to PiS. For me, Premier Morawiecki is such an obvious and natural candidate - stated Joachim Brudziński on RMF FM.
08:42
Brudziński:
The Question Remains How Many PSL Parliamentarians Will Enter the Sejm Within the Third Way Coalition
- We will wait for the final allocation of mandates. It is also a question of how many parliamentarians the PSL will manage to introduce into the Sejm within the framework of the Third Way coalition. Whether this drain, forgive me for this colloquial term, which has worked here, this obvious outflow of electorate, it seems to me, from Confederation and Third Way, has fueled votes and possibly mandates for the other coalition partner, namely Poland 2050 – stated Joachim Brudziński on RMF FM.

Fogiel:
We Respect Democracy, We See the Verdict of Poles Which Gives Us Victory
- We respect democracy, we see the verdict of Poles which gives us victory. This is a historic moment in Polish politics, regardless of how everything turns out later. Until now, no party has won three times in a row. I believe our victory is undisputed - stated Radosław Fogiel in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program 'Gość Radia Zet'.

Fogiel:
We Must Wait for Official Results Announced by the National Electoral Commission for Everything
- Really, keeping emotions in check serves well in situations like these. We must wait for official results announced by the National Electoral Commission for everything – stated Radosław Fogiel on the program „Gość Radia Zet”.
08:56
- If PAD decides that PiS should nominate the prime minister, then PiS leadership will decide. Prime Minister Morawiecki is very much a possibility. He is the prime minister today, but it will depend on many factors, for example, largely on the composition of parliament - stated Radosław Fogiel in the program "Gość Radia Zet".
08:57
Brudziński:
We Lost Voters Disappointed with Our COVID Policy and Inflation Fight
– A portion of our voters, demonstrably so according to hard data, did not, however, go to the polls. We lost those voters who were disappointed with us over our policy regarding the global pandemic, meaning our COVID policy, they were disappointed over our policy concerning, for example, the fight against very high inflation, which affected their wallets, they were disappointed with us, or perhaps were frightened by the political dispute so saturated with negative emotions, which was constantly stoked and dripped here, and we will obviously analyze and examine this – stated Joachim Brudziński on RMF FM.

Fogiel:
Talks with anyone in the Sejm who thinks patriotically and would be willing to resist Tusk's dictate
- Talks with anyone in the Sejm who thinks patriotically and would be willing to resist the dictate of Tusk, which is visible around the corner. If the opposition were to form a government, let's not delude ourselves, but the fate of the late Zyta Gilowska, Jan Rokita, or many other Donald Tusk collaborators should serve as a warning - stated Radosław Fogiel on the program "Guest of Radio Zet".

Kosiniak-Kamysz:
We Will Divide Seats Fifty-Fifty with Poland 2050
- I think that with these [results] around 50 [seats]. I think it will be fifty-fifty, the seats will be divided based on affiliation, which constitute the Third Way - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.
10:10
Kosiniak-Kamysz:
I Wouldn't Mind If There Was One Club
- Yesterday, when we spoke together after these results, we said that it was written [that there would be two separate clubs], but of course, the Third Way formula proved itself. I also wouldn't mind if there was one club, but we will talk about it once the final results are in; that wouldn't be a bad solution either - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on RMF FM.
10:10
Kosiniak-Kamysz:
I Rule Out a Coalition with PiS
- I rule out such a coalition [with PiS] because we ran with the slogan: either the Third Way or PiS's Third Term. This slogan resonated strongly with many voters. Those who voted for us want change, they want a change of government, they want PiS removed from power - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on RMF FM.
10:11
- All scenarios are possible if the formations that can form a coalition, meaning the formations of the Senate Pact, which have entered into a Senate Pact for the second time. There will be talks, there will be a decision. I won't count my chickens before they hatch today, because we will see the final results - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on RMF FM.
10:12
Kosiniak-Kamysz:
Before Entrusting Someone with the Mission of Forming a Government, the President Should Consult with Formations Capable of Creating Such a Government
- If I could, I would appeal to the President that before entrusting someone with the mission of forming a government, he should conduct consultations with formations that can create this government - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on RMF FM.
10:14
Czarnecki:
Results Will Be Significantly Better Than Post-Election Polls
- This will probably change significantly. It seems, as experts emphasize, that a very large number of voters, by refusing to say who they voted for, have misled those surveyors who then reported the results - stated Ryszard Czarnecki in the program "Salon polityczny Trójki" (Trójka Political Salon).
- This means that these are people who voted mainly for us, and possibly also for Konfederacja. Therefore, I think that these results will be significantly better than, in a sense, the post-election polls - he added.

PiS - 40.05%

The National Electoral Commission (PKW) has released data concerning the turnout in the parliamentary elections from 8,995 polling districts (28.56% of all electoral districts).
- The number of people eligible to vote in these districts, meaning the number of individuals included in the voter rolls in the districts from which data was received, was 6,642,920. In the districts from which data was received, 4,782,539 votes were cast, valid ballots, which constitutes [...] 71.99% of the number of eligible voters in these districts - said the Chairman of the PKW, Sylwester Marciniak.
10:26
Tomczyk:
Tusk is the Natural Candidate for Prime Minister
- Everything points to it, and today one can probably say directly that the rule of PiS in Poland ended on October 15, 2023 – said Cezary Tomczyk in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
- Donald Tusk is the natural candidate for prime minister. I respect my partners, and I also respect my superiors. The leaders of the parliamentary groupings will now sit down at the table; after all, these negotiations and these talks are just beginning when it comes to personnel matters – he continued.
10:26
Tomczyk:
The Nation Has Decided Who Rules Poland. Andrzej Duda Will Not Decide That
- The greatest pressure on the president comes from the votes of Polish men and women. President Andrzej Duda was elected in democratic elections, receiving over 10 million votes. The democratic camp received approximately 11 million votes. The nation has decided who rules Poland. Neither Andrzej Duda, nor Andrzej Dera, nor Jarosław Kaczyński will decide this. Only the people. I believe the primary mission of the President of the Republic is to respect the will of the nation – stated Cezary Tomczyk on TVN24.

Marek Sawicki was asked on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events) about the words of Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski, who stated that even 20% of Civic Platform (PO) voters do not trust Donald Tusk, and therefore someone like Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, who enjoys greater trust among Poles, should become Prime Minister.
- I would advise my colleague Teofil not to express opinions about coalition partners. Since we managed to build a Senate pact together before the elections, we must now also build, using this parliamentary majority, the Presidium of the Sejm, the Presidium of the Senate, and the government of the Republic of Poland together - Sawicki replied.

Hołownia:
The head of the largest party on this side will traditionally host the process of talks on who will be prime minister
- I think Poles decide that in elections. Today the situation is very clear. Democratic opposition forces, at the moment I left the office, noted about 3 million votes more than PiS. That's a large advantage. The largest is PO, and I understand that the head of the largest party on this side will traditionally host the process of talks on who will be prime minister - stated Szymon Hołownia in an interview with Monika Olejnik on the program "Kropka nad I".
