PiS Backs Marcin Ociepa for Deputy Speaker Ahead of Political Split

PiS has put forward Marcin Ociepa as its candidate for Deputy Speaker of the Sejm. Ociepa, described as conciliatory and not prone to political confrontation, has found himself at the centre of an internal party crisis that is reportedly about to end in a split. The timing of his nomination is seen as directly linked to the looming political shake-up within the party.
