I must say that leaders of some other parties have asked me in recent days if they could also vote - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the National Council of PO.

- We all know this is the first step, that no one will give our candidate anything, nothing for free. We will have to fight for every vote, to convince every Polish woman, every Polish man until the last day of the election - he continued.

- In the KO primaries for the candidate for the President of the Republic of Poland in next year's presidential elections, over 22,126 votes were cast.

In PiS, one vote matters; in our party, every vote counts

- We decided on primaries because we are a democratic party, a seriously democratic one. Since 2020, I have felt this responsibility because you have supported me all this time. Radek Sikorski announced his candidacy, and that's very good, because it strengthened us – he continued.
