Politics

Lasecki was elected to the Senate in the Polish parliamentary election, 2005, as an independent candidate for the Częstochowa district.[7] His term was cut short on 19 December 2005 as a result of the decision of the Supreme Court of Poland on 15 December 2005 to nullify the elections in the district due to faulty ballots.[8] However, on 22 January 2006 he was elected again when new elections were held.[8] He became a member of the Senate's National Economy Commission and the Foreign Affairs Commission. In the elections in 2007, he unsuccessfully sought re-election from his own committee.[9] He has been a member of The Civic Platform (PO – Platforma Obywatelska) since 2009. In 2010 he became a delegate to the national party's convention. In the parliamentary election in 2011 as a PO candidate in district 68 he won the Senate mandate.[10] In the 2015 polish parliamentary election he was not elected for another term and was defeated by Ryszard Majer.[11] In 2019 he unsuccessfully started in the parliamentary election from the Civic Coalition to the Sejm and did not get elected.[12]
