Poland’s ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party is seeking the dismissal of Ryszard Kalisz from his position on the National Electoral Commission (Państwowa Komisja Wyborcza). The move follows accusations made by PiS MP Michał Wójcik, who alleged Kalisz previously represented the interests of Russian oligarchs and related companies operating within Poland during his legal practice. Wójcik presented these claims in the Sejm, Poland’s lower house of parliament. The PiS party has formally submitted a request for Kalisz’s removal. The allegations center around Kalisz’s work as an attorney and potential conflicts of interest given his role overseeing elections. This action raises concerns about political influence over the independent electoral body. Further details regarding the specifics of the alleged representation are expected to be debated.
