How many votes did Prime Minister Donald Tusk miss in the Sejm in 2025? 1,140 out of 1,776, which accounts for 64% of the total. All of these absences were excused. “Another Tusk’s record,” commented Piotr Müller, Member of the European Parliament for Law and Justice (PiS).
In 2025, the Sejm held over 20 sessions, most of them two- or three-day sessions. During these, parliamentarians participated in 1,776 votes.
How many votes did the Prime Minister of Poland miss? In December, the second year since Donald Tusk’s government was sworn in passed. Observing Sejm sessions, even last year, the question repeatedly arose: where is the Prime Minister (who, despite holding office, is also a member of the Sejm)? There were occasions when, instead of being in the chamber, the head of government… was posting on social media. One X platform user, Radosław Karbowski, published a post today informing about Tusk’s absences during Sejm votes.
Donald Tusk w 2025 roku opuścił 1140 sejmowych głosowań. To 64% całości.

Dziwnym trafem wszystkie nieobecności zostały masowo usprawiedliwione.
Premier w rok opuścił więcej głosowań niż Mateusz Morawiecki w trakcie całej poprzedniej czteroletniej kadencji.
A obowiązki mieli… pic.twitter.com/ZdrH755L0b
Donald Tusk missed 1,140 Sejm votes in 2025. That is 64% of the total. Oddly enough, all absences were excused en masse. In one year, the Prime Minister missed more votes than Mateusz Morawiecki did during his entire previous four-year term. And they had the same responsibilities. Donald Tusk is setting records for absences in the Sejm. This is not an opinion – these are numbers, he wrote, comparing Tusk’s work to Mateusz Morawiecki’s – also as Prime Minister. These data are publicly available on the website of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland.
Considering the period from January 8, 2025 (the first Sejm session of last year) to December 18, 2025 (the last Sejm session of last year) – the Sejm held 1,776 votes. Donald Tusk missed 1,140 of them. That accounts for 64% of the total. It is also visible that all of them are marked as “excused.”
Müller: “Another record”
This fact was commented on in social media by Piotr Müller, Member of the European Parliament for Law and Justice (PiS).
“Another record for Donald Tusk” he wrote. Adam Czarnecki from the #YesToCPK Association compared Donald Tusk with his predecessor, Mateusz Morawiecki, commenting: “I would say that their responsibilities were somewhat different. Mateusz Morawiecki faced, for example, the COVID pandemic and the outbreak of war in Ukraine, challenges that Donald Tusk does not have. And yet Donald Tusk in 2 years missed more votes than M. Morawiecki did in 6 years.”
