Summary/Abstract: Th e article analyses the division of spoils in executives of regional self-government aft er the 2024 electionsin Poland. Th e fi rst issue is that some parties were overrepresented in regional executives compared withthe number of seats they had in regional assemblies. Others were underrepresented (among them the mainopposition party, Law and Justice, which lacked coalition potential) and some had quite proportional rep-resentation, such as the Citizens Platform (PO)—the main government party. Secondly, on investigating thedivision of the most prominent positions, that is the heads (marszałkowie) of regional executives, PO cameout on top. Th irdly, regarding the number of regions in which particular parties had their representation,PO and its ally, the Peasant Party, were found to rule in most regions.
