Bronis?aw Maria Komorowski is a Polish politician and historian who has been President of Poland since 2010. As Marshal of the Sejm, Komorowski exercised powers and duties of head of state following the death of President Lech Kaczy?ski in a plane crash on 10 April 2010. Komorowski was the governing Civic Platform party's candidate in the resulting 2010 presidential election, which he won in the second round of voting on 4 July 2010. He was sworn in as president on 6 August 2010. Komorowski is thus the second person to serve on two occasions as the Polish head of state since 1918 after Maciej Rataj. Rataj, however, was twice acting president, while Komorowski first acted as president, and then became elected president. Komorowski served as minister of Defence from 2000 to 2001.
