President Andrzej Duda will announce changes in the government on Tuesday, President's Chancellery said on Monday. "There will be some changes in the government, most likely this week, but I wouldn't call it a big reshuffle," PiS parliamentary club chief Ryszard Terlecki said earlier that day.

The Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland said on Monday that President Andrzej Duda would announce changes in the government the following day.

Asked by reporters about details of the cabinet reshuffle, the chief of Poland's ruling PiS party parliamentary club, Ryszard Terlecki, said earlier on Monday that "a reshuffle is too big a word".

"There will be some changes in the government, most likely this week, but I wouldn't call it a big reshuffle," he explained.

He would not reveal whether Henryk Kowalczyk would become the new agriculture minister.

The United Rights coalition has been announcing changes in the government since the departure of Jarosław Gowin's Accord, a junior partner in the alliance. Gowin himself stepped down as deputy PM and minister of development, labour and technology.

Although, he was joined by some of his associates, in the end most of deputy ministers from his party remained in the ruling coalition, by moving to PiS parliamentary group.

In mid-October, PiS chairman Jarosław Kaczyński confirmed in an interview for Polish Press Agency (PAP) that MP Kamil Bortniczuk would become new minister of sport.

Kaczyński also announced that he would step down as deputy prime minister with the beginning of 2022.
