(1995-1996)

During SdRP's Congress on 13 May, Kwaśniewski secured his party's endorsement for President with 296 out of 300 votes. Some delegates believed Józef Oleksy should become the candidate instead.[10][11]

Freedom Union

Jacek Kuroń
Member of the Sejm
(1989-1993)
Potential candidates
Jacek Kuroń Janusz Onyszkiewicz Hanna Suchocka
Minister of Labour and Social Policy
(1992-1993)
Minister of National Defence
(1992-1993)
Prime Minister of Poland
(1992-1993)

During the 2nd Congress of the Freedom Union, three candidates decided to enter the party's candidate selection process: Jacek Kuroń, Janusz Onyszkiewicz and Hanna Suchocka. Suchocka, despite being the highest-ranking of the former three candidates, came last in the first round. The second round of voting saw Kuroń defeat Onyszkiewicz by a slight margin of 11 votes, and the former Minister of Labour became the party's official candidate for President.[10]

Movement for the Republic

edit

Jan Olszewski
Prime Minister of Poland
(1991-1992)
Potential candidates
Jan Olszewski Lech Wałęsa
Prime Minister of Poland
(1991-1992)
Chairman of Solidarity
(1980-1991)

In August 1990, the KPN was split, with ~300 of its ~1500 members seceding, forming the Confederation of Independent Poland – Democratic Faction (Polish: Konfederacja Polski Niepodległej – Frakcja Demokratyczna, KPN-FD), accusing KPN's leader Leszek Moczulski of authoritarian rule over the party. When elections were called, whereas KPN-FD endorsed Wałęsa outright, KPN offered to endorse Wałęsa, on several conditions: for Wałesa to support an instant resignation of President Jaruzelski, immediate withdrawal of the Soviet Army from Poland and condemn the Balcerowicz Plan. Ultimately, with Wałęsa not fitting the conditions, Leszek Moczulski decided to himself run in the election[12]. With 111 thousand out of 100 thousand required signatures, he managed to pass the threshold to run.[10]
