(UTV|COLOMBO) – Poland’s Prime Minister Beata Szydlo resigned late Thursday (07) and will be replaced by the Finance Minister, according to a statement from the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party.
Shifting challenges at home and abroad necessitated a change to “Correct the composition of the Government, including its leadership,” the party said in the statement.
As a result, the statement said, Szydlo is set to be replaced by Finance Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, a Polish banker.
Morawiecki was chosen to prepare the Law and Justice Party for a series of upcoming elections at the local and national levels in the next several years, Reuters reported, citing sources.
