SKL members vote for Sejm speaker Plazynski as best presidential candidate

Members of the National Conservative Alliance (SKL), part of the Solidarity Election Action (AWS), see Sejm speaker Maciej Plazynski as the most desirable presidential candidate. SKL conducted a survey of its members and so far two-thirds of those who replied pointed to Plazynski as the best candidate, while independent candidate Andrzej Olechowski was second. Meanwhile, AWS leader Marian Krzaklewski, who, unlike Plazynski, already announced he is running for president, came third. The problem with Plazynski, however, is he is a member of the AWS Social Movement (RS AWS) party, which named Krzaklewski as its candidate. Head of the RS AWS Political Council Jacek Rybicki said, "I would prefer if SKL looked for a candidate among its own members rather than within a party which already appointed its own candidate."
