2015 Polish parliamentary election

The 2015 Polish parliamentary election was held to choose members of the Sejm (lower house) and Senate (upper house). The main contest was between the ruling Civic Platform (PO) and opposition Law and Justice (PiS). PiS won a significant majority in the Sejm, enabling it to govern more freely, while also gaining control of the Senate. This shift marked a move toward more conservative policies and changed Poland’s political landscape. The election reflected public desire for change, with issues like economic policy, social welfare, and justice reform playing key roles. The result significantly influenced Poland's domestic and international direction.
