The longer this „non-partisan”? Elections of leaders of Polish major cities in the 2002–2018
Abstract
Przedmiotem badań podjętych w artykule jest rywalizacja prezydencka w 19. polskich miastach w latach 2002–2018. Ich celem było sprawdzenie czy afiliacja partyjna częściej towarzyszyła prezydentom miast, którzy dokonywali reelekcji, czy też raczej sprzyjała alternacji władzy. Pozycję partii politycznych badano na podstawie dwóch kryteriów: liczby reelekcji prezydentów afiliowanych z partiami oraz liczby pretendentów partyjnych, którzy uzyskiwali drugi wynik po zwycięzcach. W badanych miastach odnotowano 60 przypadków reelekcji – dominowali w nich inkumbenci pozapartyjni. W 16. przypadkach alternacji władzy dominowali natomiast kandydaci partii politycznych. Na 95 przypadków elekcji lat 2002–2018 w aż 74. z nich głównymi rywalami zwycięzców byli kandydaci partii politycznych. Badanie wykazało zatem, że wielokadencyjności prezydentów sprzyja pozapartyjność, a partie polityczne odgrywają większą rolę w alternacjach władzy.
The subject of the research undertaken in the article are the competitions (in the years 2002–2018) for the position of the mayor of the city in 19. Polish cities. The main goal was to find answer for the question: was party affiliation promoted incumbents or rather favored the alternation of power in the cities. The position of political parties was examined on the basis of two criteria. The first one was the number of incumbents affiliated with political parties. Another was the number of participants in the mayor’s competitions who obtained the second result after the winner. In the examined cities 60. reelection cases were recorded – in the majority there were nonpartisan incumbents. In 16 cases of power alternation, however, the candidates of political parties dominated. In the years 2002–2018 in all cities there were exactly 95 elections (19 cities x 5 elections) – in as many as 74 of them the main rivals of the winners were the candidates of political parties. The research has shown that the multi-years incumbency were favored outside the party, and – on the other hand – the political parties played a greater role in the changes of the mayors of cities.
