Party founder Joanna Senyszyn

Joanna Senyszyn was a candidate in the 2025 Polish presidential election, obtaining 1.1% of the vote. After the first round of the election, on 22 May, Senyszyn announced that she would organize a new political party. [2] Initially titled "Senyszyn's Empire" [3] and later "Red Corals", [4] both references to elements of Senyszyn's presidential campaign. [5] In June, New Left leader Robert Biedroń acknowledged the not yet registered party, imploring it to join the New Left on a single electoral list. [6] Senyszyn also announced a youth wing of the party. [7] According to Senyszyn, the party received around 10,000 signups after its announcement. [8]

Ultimately, the party adopted the name "New Wave", implying a "new wave to sweep away the old political world", after a vote on Facebook, with the name winning against "Democracy", "Stars Party", "Tomorrow's Generation" [9] [10] It was joined by former Democratic Left Alliance politicians Robert Kwiatkowski  [ pl ] and Marek Balt as well as Piotr Bakun, Senyszyn's former campaign plenipotentiary and leader of the "Nonpartisans" party [11] (a splinter from Bezpartyjni Samorządowcy [12] ). New Wave applied for registration on 28 August 2025. [13]

Leadership

Senyszyn announced that the party would be managed democratically, with her name as part of the party's name serving to increase recognition, [8] and claiming that she would not be the party's leader but its "mother". [14]

Ideology

Senyszyn distanced the party from the left–right political spectrum, stating that the party would be "democratic, modern and rational". [11] The party's policy proposals have been described as left-wing [15] and include the elimination of financial privileges for Churches, secularization, support for women's right to self-determination and LGBT rights, a 'reasonable compromise between the interests of employers and employees', [10] and economic deregulation. [16] The party seeks to present itself as a party for the youth, [17] pursuing the electorate of The Left. [13]

Senyszyn announced several goals for the party, among which to stop the Law and Justice party from returning to power since its loss in the 2023 Polish parliamentary election, [11] entry into the Sejm, necessarily crossing the 5% electoral threshold, [8] and introduce 50 posełs to the Sejm, 11% of the total amount. [13]
