As one of the Deputies of the Senate Marshal he was regarded as a de facto leader of the upper house.
He was picked by the Law and Justice and their candidate for Sejm Marshal. However, he lost soundly to Civic Platform's majority nominee Bronisław Komorowski. His candidature was viewed as a political demonstration.
