Marek Borowski

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marek Stefan Borowski (b. January 4, 1946 in Warsaw, Poland) is a Polish politician, the former leader of Sojusz Lewicy Demokratycznej and the former Speaker of the Sejm (the lower, but more powerful, house of Poland's parliament).

Since April 2004 he has been the leader, and since May 2004 the chairman, of a new Polish left-wing party called Socjaldemokracja Polska (Polish Social Democracy), formed from a break-away group of SLD. He was a candidate in the presidential elections in 2005, but he got fourth place, with 10%.

Marek Borowski is an MP from Piła, but in the September 2005 parliamentary elections he contested a seat in Warsaw. Borowski was the Social Democratic presidential candidate in the 2005 Polish presidential elections. Just as his party received a massive defeat in the September 2005 Parliamentary elections, Borowski lost the presidential elections, receiving 10% of the vote and fourth place, despite Aleksander Kwaśniewski's support following the withdrawal of Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz.
