Ziobro could succeed Kaczyński as PiS party leader

According to PiS chairman, Jarosław Kaczyński is said to be thinking about passing the leadership on to younger members, and "The elections in 2011 will be Jarosław's last battle. Up to the 2015 elections, the party will be governed by a new generation." Ziobro denied the information and claimed that "There is cohesion between me and Jarosław Kaczyński. We have common goals". However, after the loss of Zbigniew Wasserman, Kaczyński's protégée, in party elections in Kraków on Sunday, speculation has surfaced that Ziobro is trying to undermine Kaczyński's authority. Ziobro has a very large influence in Małopolska.
