Bronisław Maria Komorowski AUD is the current President of the Republic of Poland. As Marshal of the Sejm (Speaker of Parliament), Komorowski already exercised the powers and duties of head of state after the death of President Lech Kaczyński in a plane crash on 10 April 2010. Komorowski was the governing Civic Platform party's candidate in the resulting 2010 presidential election, which he won in the second round of voting on 4 July 2010. He was sworn in as President in his own right on 6 August 2010. Komorowski is thus the second person to serve on two occasions as the Polish head of state since 1918 after Maciej Rataj. Rataj, however, was twice Acting President, while Komorowski first acted as President, and then became elected President.
Komorowski was the Minister of Defence from 2000 to 2001. »
