President-elect Karol Nawrocki has opted to bring young and dynamic individuals into his Presidential Office, while ensuring they have solid bureaucratic experience, presidential spokesperson Rafał Leśkiewicz emphasized on Monday. Today, two more names were officially confirmed — with one clear condition attached: giving up their party membership.
In a Monday interview with TV Trwam and Radio Maryja, Nawrocki announced that PiS MP Zbigniew Bogucki would be appointed head of the Chancellery of the President, while fellow PiS MP Adam Andruszkiewicz — former leader of the All-Polish Youth and a former deputy minister of digital affairs — would serve as deputy head. Andruszkiewicz notably managed Nawrocki’s digital campaign.
Leśkiewicz stated that the nominations of Bogucki and Andruszkiewicz are part of a broader introduction of Nawrocki’s Presidential Office team. He stressed that the president-elect is selecting individuals who are both energetic and seasoned in administrative work.
Bogucki, Leśkiewicz noted, is a “young lawyer and civil servant who only recently entered frontline politics.” He previously worked as a prosecutor and attorney and brings considerable legal experience. “A competent legal expert is essential to the President’s operations,” the spokesperson added.
Leśkiewicz also highlighted Bogucki’s experience as the West Pomeranian Voivode, a role in which he performed admirably during the pandemic. “He’s a politician ready to work in the Presidential Chancellery, without actively holding a party post — because that was a precondition for collaborating with the president,” he stated.
The same condition applies to Adam Andruszkiewicz, Leśkiewicz explained. “Though he’s only 35, he has significant administrative and parliamentary experience.”
Andruszkiewicz will be responsible for online communication within the Chancellery — a continuation of his role during Nawrocki’s presidential campaign.
Another addition to the Chancellery team is Agnieszka Jędrzak, who will oversee relations with the Polish diaspora. Leśkiewicz recalled that she previously served as Director of the Office for International Cooperation at the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN). She has already begun working with the president-elect.
“She is a professional largely unknown to the public, not affiliated with any political or media circle,” said Leśkiewicz. “She has over a decade of experience and notable accomplishments in international affairs.” He noted her leadership of the international educational and commemorative project Trails of Hope: The Odyssey of Freedom, which honored the wartime efforts of the Polish Armed Forces during WWII and the fate of civilians evacuated from the USSR alongside General Anders’ army.
Leśkiewicz emphasized that historical remembrance will be a key focus of Jędrzak’s work, albeit in a different capacity than at the IPN. “This issue strongly influences current policy and its future direction. Nawrocki’s emphasis on roots, identity, and tradition is central to fostering patriotism — not only culturally, but also in economic and social terms.”
Jędrzak will also be responsible for managing state honors and decorations within the Presidential Chancellery.
