After the devastating plane crash in April that killed a majority of Poland's prominent government officials, the country has moved up the fall election to June. The brother of Lech Kaczynski has declared his candidacy for prime minister. Jaroslaw Kaczynski claims he will follow the plans of his brother and complete them in his place. The rival party, the Civic Platform, is taking this opportunity to push for their candidate who, most believed, would have won the election in the fall. Seeing as his rival is the current acting president, Kaczynski may very well meet defeat in the election.
