The president of the Council of Ministers (Polish: Prezes Rady Ministrów [ˈprɛ.zɛs ˈra.dɘ miˈɲis.truf]), colloquially and commonly referred to as the prime minister (Polish: premier [ˈprɛ.mjɛr] ), is the head of the cabinet and the head of government of Poland.[2] The responsibilities and traditions of the office stem from the creation of the contemporary Polish state, and the office is defined in the Constitution of Poland. According to the Constitution, the president nominates and appoints the prime minister, who will then propose the composition of the Cabinet.[3] Fourteen days following their appointment, the prime minister must submit a programme outlining the government's agenda to the Sejm, requiring a vote of confidence.[4] Conflicts stemming from both interest and powers have arisen between the offices of President and Prime Minister in the past.
The incumbent and eighteenth prime minister is Donald Tusk of the Civic Platform party who replaced Mateusz Morawiecki following the 2023 Polish parliamentary election, after Morawiecki's third government failed to receive a vote of confidence on 11 December 2023, which Tusk's third government subsequently received on the same day and was sworn in two days later.[5][6] Tusk was also the fourteenth prime minister, between 2007 and 2014.
