The Senate Pact 2023 (pl|Pakt Senacki 2023) is an electoral alliance among the Civic Coalition (KO), the New Left (NL), the Polish People's Party (PSL) and Poland 2050 for the 2023 Polish Senate election. The accord was agreed on 28 February 2023 by party representatives Marcin Kierwiński (KO), Dariusz Wieczorek (NL), Piotr Zgorzelski (KP-PSL) and Jacek Bury (Poland 2050).
The agreement assumes close cooperation regarding the conduct of the election campaign; in each electoral district for the Senate of Poland, the constituent parties will back one common candidate. Candidates recommended by parties to the agreement and political parties cooperating will have the exclusive right to use the official logo of the coalition.
To implement the agreement, an organizational team was established, whose work is managed by a representative of Yes! For Poland–Civic Coalition Senator Zygmunt Frankiewicz. The team's task is to divide the electoral districts into individual parties to the agreement, prepare proposals for candidates for Senators of the Republic of Poland and develop a concept for conducting an election campaign. The first informal Senate pact was concluded before the parliamentary elections in 2019.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
The alliance won 66 seats out of 100 in the 11th term of the Senate which will sit from 2023 to 2027.
