He made the declaration after voting ended in the country's parliamentary elections and an exit poll was released on Sunday evening.
The Polish prime minister told broadcaster TVP Info: "If the president entrusts the formation of a government to the winning party's candidate, we will try to build a stable government.”
The exit poll by Ipsos showed on Sunday that Morawiecki's Law and Justice party had won the election with 36.8 percent of the vote, translating into 200 seats in the lower house of parliament.
Meanwhile, the main opposition grouping, the liberal Civic Coalition, claimed 31.6 percent of the vote, according to the exit poll, and looked set to have 163 seats in the lower house. The centre-right opposition Third Way alliance was seen winning 13 percent of the vote and 55 seats, while the New Left party garnered 8.6 percent of the vote, translating into 30 seats, the poll indicated.
The far-right Confederation grouping came fifth with 6.2 percent of the vote, and was expected to have 12 MPs in the 460-seat house, the PAP news agency reported.
'It’s a historic victory': PM
Morawiecki told reporters: “It’s a historic victory because after 1989, no other party had managed to win three parliamentary elections in a row.”
He thanked voters for support, adding that "Law and Justice was backed by the highest-ever number of voters,” some 8 million.
The prime minister said his party “won’t squander the trust of the Polish people,” adding that it was ready “to talk with everyone” about a potential government coalition.
Morawiecki also told reporters that the turnout in a referendum held together with the parliamentary vote on issues including illegal migration was “very high, at around 40 percent.”
According to the Ipsos exit poll, some 40 percent of Poles took part in the referendum, a number insufficient to make the vote binding, according to news outlets.
