President Andrzej Duda designated Law and Justice party (PiS) candidate Beata Szydlo as Prime Minister on Friday. The ceremony was held at the Presidential Palace on Krakowskie Przedmieście street.
Szydło's government is to be sworn in on Monday and the new PM is to give her acceptance speech on Wednesday, according to unofficial information gathered by TVN24 broadcaster.
The speed with which PiS has formed the government is quite impressive. The line-up of the new administration was revealed just 14 days after election day (October 25). "The speech will be presented as soon as possible," Jacek Sasin, PiS MP told the media.
