WARSAW (Sputnik) – PiS, which won the Polish parliamentary elections on Sunday with 37.58 percent of the votes, convened a political committee session late on Tuesday.
"The political committee decided that Beata Szydlo is a candidate for prime minister," spokeswoman Elzbieta Witek announced.
Witek said the official announcement was needed to fend off speculation of rumors of a different prime ministerial candidate.
The October 25 vote to the 460-seat lower house of Polish parliament, the Sejm, has for the first time in the country’s recent history given a mandate to form the government to a single party. PiS holds 231 out of the needed 235 mandates.
