Jaroslaw Kaczynski steps down as Poland's Prime Minister Monday, leaving his identical twin brother, President Lech Kaczynski, to serve three more years in office without the luxury of a prime minister for whom he can truly trust.
The Kaczynskis have served as Prime Minister and President for 16 months, sharing not just the same parents, but also similar political ideologies and the same facial features. The idential twins were confused a lot for another during their tenure atop the Polish government.
The presidential term ends in 2010.
Jaroslaw Kaczynski's Law and Justice Party was ousted in the parliamentary elections on Oct. 21. Instead, the new majority party is the Civic Platform party, which demands more of an alliance with the United States. The newly elected Prime Minister to represent the Civic Platform party is Donald Tusk.
