After a long electoral battle, the liberal coalition Civic Coalition (KO) won the elections with 58.04% of the suffrages. The right-wing United Right (ZP) coalition went second with 29,56% of the votes.

Rafał Trzaskowski the liberal nominee, was appointed Prime Minister by King Mark I on March 2, 2018.
