WARSAW, July 25 (RIA Novosti) - Early parliamentary elections will be held in Poland September 30 following a government crisis triggered by the dismissal of a deputy premier earlier this month, the Nasz Dziennik daily said Wednesday.
The country was plunged into a political turmoil July 9 after President Lech Kaczynski dismissed Andrzej Lepper, deputy premier and agriculture minister, on corruption allegations at the request of his brother Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski. Lepper's Self Defense party responded by quitting the coalition.
Nasz Dziennik said the lower house of parliament would meet August 22 after the summer break and make a decision on self-dissolution. The paper said the premier would announce September 30 as the date for early elections Friday night in accordance with a plan of the ruling party Law and Justice led by Jaroslaw Kaczynski.
