- "It is a victory! My deepest respects to the work done by thousands of friends and supporters of PiS" - Mateusz Morawiecki wrote on Twitter.

Jest zwycięstwo! Wielkie ukłony dla pracy wykonanej przez tysiące przyjaciół i sympatyków @pisorgpl!

- We have gone through four very difficult months, and today we have the most important news of the day. Rafał Trzaskowski has confirmed that he is the leader of democratic, self-governing Poland, achieving a brilliant result - stated Donald Tusk during the election night.

- This is our ninth victory, which should primarily serve as an encouragement for us to work, because it turns out that those who wanted to bury us already, as Mark Twain once said, the news of my death is somewhat premature. This result shows that in parliamentary elections today, we might perhaps achieve significantly more, we might perhaps even gain power. But the elections are still over 3 years away, so we must first win the European elections, that's point one, and then prepare and win the presidential elections, and finally, there will be the parliamentary ones - stated Jarosław Kaczyński during the PiS election night.

- They said we'd only have one voivodeship. Well, God willing, we'll have many, many more. Thank you very much - stated Jarosław Kaczyński during the PiS election night.

- We did not receive a similar opinion from all sides of the coalition. Those who, even in recent days, called for showing the Third Way a red card, did not play fair. It's not about us being offended. But, as I see it, they themselves did not achieve the intended effect. Perhaps this signal is necessary for some to appreciate loyalty and cooperation - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz during the Third Way's election night.

- There are people who want to vote for our program. And it's not worldview issues that are paramount, but the economy and security are paramount - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz during the Third Way's election night.

- This result gives us even more strength to implement our program. There is no deviation from the lower health contribution for entrepreneurs, from contribution holidays, from focusing on the economy and security. These are our priorities and we will implement them – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz during the Third Way election night.

- We said from the very beginning that it wouldn't be simple at all, that great mobilization would be needed, that turnout would really speak volumes, and once again, this great mobilization happened. This mobilization will be needed every day, because this isn't just about elections; it's about the fact that Prime Minister Donald Tusk and the entire government face a devilishly difficult task, as do all those who co-create this government – stated Rafał Trzaskowski at the KO election night.

- Poland has rarely been in such a difficult situation, and that is why, dear friends, we need your support, your determination. We need you to be patient on the one hand, but on the other, to support us so that we can continue to move forward and ensure Poland is safe, that Poland becomes increasingly modern. That we utilize all the opportunities before us. Therefore, we ask you to continue supporting Donald Tusk's government, to continue supporting all those who won the elections on October 15th, and to support all your local government officials – he continued.

- I'm already used to the fact that we need to build larger entities, and the fact that the October 15th coalition has 52% today, and PiS has 33%, is a great commitment. Voter turnout was lower, the weather, we pray for nice weather every time spring arrives, but it apparently did demobilize some voters a bit, because if I understand correctly, it's just over 50%. So all the more I absorb this information that we've reclaimed some voivodeships, that generally we are still moving forward - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in an interview with TVN24.

- I realize that this will continue to be a very difficult road and without full support from the people, sometimes, and I warned about this, it's not that everything is already settled, and that everyone's support is needed. We will continue to mobilize people to change Poland - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk on TVN24.

- Clearly, based on these preliminary data, eastern regions and rural Poland were much more mobilized, and we still have a lot of work to do there. That's the truth. But it's also worth comparing, because local government elections are a bit different, there are many other entities, there are the Non-Partisan Local Government Officials, this time it wasn't a significant force, but always those 2-3%, so when I look at this result and compare it with the local government elections from 5 years ago, and at the end, you know, I like to talk to people seriously, if we had 8 voivodeships after the last local government elections, and now we have 10, in my opinion there will be more, it means it's another step forward - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk on TVN24.
