The SLD counts on the charisma of Cimoszewicz to improving their ratings
Cimoszewicz has not disclosed his decision yet, however it is speculated that most probably he will say yes. Should he decide to stand for the post he can count on support from the Democratic Left Alliance, the Labor Union and Polish Social Democracy. The opposition parties are discussing putting forward their own candidate, which probably will be Józef Zych, who is backed by the Polish Peasants Party, the Polish Families League as well as Law and Justice. Political commentators believe that the left wants Ci moszewicz to become Sejm Speaker as this will bring him into the media limelight, which could help in becoming the common presidential candidate for left.
