The 2020 Civic Platform leadership election was held in January 2020 to elect the leader of the Civic Platform. Borys Budka was elected as the new leader of the party, defeating Tomasz Siemoniak, Bogdan Zdrojewski and Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz in a landslide, earning 78% of the vote. Despite Budka's large mandate, he would not serve his full four year term, as he resigned to allow Donald Tusk's return as party leader in 2021.
