The reshuffle in conservative Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki’s Cabinet came after Jarosław Gowin’s Agreement party left the government in the summer.
Henryk Kowalczyk, a former environment minister, was on Tuesday sworn in as Poland’s new agriculture minister to replace Grzegorz Puda, while Puda took over as the new minister for regional policy.
