Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and his ministers are scheduled to take their oaths before President Andrzej Duda in Warsaw at 2:30 p.m.
Directly after that, the new Cabinet plans to hold its first meeting, government spokesman Piotr Mueller has told reporters.
Morawiecki, who led Poland’s previous conservative government from December 11, 2017 until earlier this week, was on Thursday named by the president as prime minister-designate and tasked with forming a new Cabinet.
Thursday’s ceremony at the presidential palace came after President Andrzej Duda two days earlier accepted the resignation of Morawiecki and his Cabinet ministers in line with constitutional rules in a step designed to make way for a new government.
At the same time, Duda entrusted Morawiecki with continuing in his duties until a new government is formed, state news agency PAP reported.
Earlier on Tuesday, Morawiecki submitted the resignation of his Cabinet at the first session of the country’s new parliament.
Morawiecki last week unveiled the proposed lineup of his new Cabinet, which is expected to receive a vote of confidence in parliament where the ruling conservatives have a comfortable majority.
Morawiecki's governing conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party, allied with two smaller groupings in a United Right coalition, won Poland's October 13 parliamentary election and secured a second term in power.
Morawiecki is likely to deliver a policy speech in parliament, outlining his government's priorities on Tuesday, November 19.
In a brief statement on Thursday, he vowed to make every effort as prime minister over the next four years to ensure the country takes a significant "stride in development" and narrows the gap separating it from wealthier European economies.
