Senate Speaker expects candidates to RPP to rethink their applications

"I cannot advise others what to do, but I expect that there will be more withdrawals. It would be justified if candidates analyzed their chances and evaluated them realistically," said Pastusiak yesterday. He added that all RPP candidates, and not only Senators who were on the list of candidates, should reconsider their applications. The Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) Senators that are still on the list are Marian Noga, Tadeusz Wnuk and Genowefa Ferenc. Stec justified his move after taking into account doubts over his candidacy from other Senators and President Kwaśniewski, who expressed his opinion that Deputies and Senators should not join the RPP. According to Deputy Senate Speaker Ryszard Jarzembowski, Halina Wasilewska-Trenkner, Stanisław Owsiak and Senator Noga now have the the biggest chances for being elected to the Council.
