Attorney General Adam Bodnar announced in the conversation "The Paper on Politics" in the social media paper "Rzeczpospolita" that citizens will learn the results of the vote translation from the presidential election already next week. The election was held on 18 May, and the second round, in which Karol Nawrocki was victorious, was held on 1 June.
The media reported possible irregularities in the number of votes in any committees during the second round. These included, inter alia, the reverse attribution of results to individual candidates.
The ultimate Court confirmed the validity of the elections
The Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs of the ultimate Court in early July stated the validity of Nawrock's election as president. More than 54,000 electoral protests were received by the SN, 21 of which were considered legitimate but without affecting the result of the election.
This group included the cases of respective regional electoral commissions, where, following the ordered examination of election cards, the misallocation of votes to individual candidates in committee minutes was established. In relation to these irregularities, investigations were initiated in the applicable local prosecutors' offices in the country.
Coordination team
At the end of June, a squad was formed in the National Public Prosecutor's Office to coordinate proceedings concerning electoral irregularities. At the beginning of July, it was reported that there were to be a conversion of votes in any regional electoral commissions, and there are any 30 proceedings for possible irregularities.
Bodnar was asked whether Nawrocki's swearing-in before the National Assembly should not be postponed due to the conversion of votes. The lawyer General replied that "everything indicates that this conversion will end next week".
Expert opinions on anomalies
As Bodnar recalled, the conversion covers about 250 commissions and concerns "only those committees that have doubts about serious anomalies". At the same time, the lawyer General recalled that the opinions of 2 experts - Andrzej Torój and Jack Haman - sent in June indicated that anomalies recorded in the regional electoral commissions "unless they had a crucial adequate effect to disturb this overall final consequence of the election".
Bodnar was besides asked if he had any doubts as to the correct election of Nawrocki as president. "I have only doubts that there has been a misrecognition of all electoral protests and that SN should put more energy, determination to dispel all doubts" - he replied.
Participation in the oath
He stressed that, above all, erstwhile examining electoral protests and stating the importance of the election of the president "the actual ultimate Court should be ruled, not the Extraordinary Control Chamber". erstwhile asked about his participation in Nawrocki's oath on 6 August before the National Assembly, the head of the Ministry of Justice replied that "the decision in this respect belongs to the Prime Minister".
"If the Prime Minister decides that the full government is to be present, of course I will besides be a representative," he said. He added that "the Prime Minister spoke of it preliminarily and gently, but I guess he hasn't made a final decision yet". Bodnar, however, assured that he himself would be in Warsaw on August 6 and is not going anywhere.
On 30 June, the head of the National Public Prosecutor's Office, Dariusz Korneluk, decided to set up a squad to find whether or not protocol and another electoral papers were destroyed in the electoral process. The appointed squad is headed by the manager of the Preparatory Procedure Department of PK prosecutor Katarzyna Kwiatkowska.
