Prime Minister of the 3rd Republic of Poland (since 1989)

The Prime Minister of Poland ( Prezes Rady Ministrów) is after the current Constitution (1997) at the top of Ministers . He directs and coordinates the work of the Council of Ministers.

The renaming of the “People's Republic of Poland” to “Republic of Poland” came into effect in January 1990. However, the Communist Party's claim to political leadership was removed from the constitution as early as 1989.

The prime minister is nominated by the state president , elected by the Sejm and in turn appointed by the state president. His regular term of four years can be ended by a vote of no confidence by the Sejm.

Several deputy prime ministers are at his side.
