Zbigniew Bogucki, a lawmaker from conservative-populist party Law and Justice (PiS), and a former West Pomeranian governor who ran Nawrocki’s campaign, will head the Presidential Chancellery (KPRP). Lawmaker Adam Andruszkiewicz (PiS) becomes his deputy, while campaign manager Paweł Szefernaker (PiS) takes the chief-of-staff post.
Several officials follow Nawrocki from the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN), which he led until this week. Jarosław Dębowski becomes deputy chief of staff and Rafał Leśkiewicz press secretary. Mateusz Kotecki will handle social affairs, and ex-IPN international-relations director Agnieszka Jędrzak gains the new portfolio for the Polish diaspora. Salesian priest Jarosław Wąsowicz is named presidential chaplain.
Parliamentarian Marcin Przydacz (PiS), a conservative former deputy foreign minister, will oversee international policy, while outgoing foreign-policy chief Wojciech Kolarski stays on. Former deputy state-assets minister Karol Rabenda (PiS) will supervise energy, development and strategic projects.
Historian Sławomir Cenckiewicz, who in 2023 chaired a controversial commission probing Russian influence, will lead the National Security Bureau (BBN). Retired generals Andrzej Kowalski, once head of military intelligence, and Mirosław Bryś, a former territorial-defense commander, become his deputies.
