Warsaw - Poland's ruling Civic Platform party on Sunday held a television debate between the foreign minister and the speaker of parliament in the final phase of their search for a presidential candidate.
Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said that his presidency would be "courageous and ambitious" whilst that of his opponent Speaker of Parliament Bronislaw Komorovski would be "worthy and conservative."
The head of state should "have experience and be measured and reliable," countered Komorovski, who is the foreign minister's senior by 10 years.
Around 46,000 members of Prime Minister Donald Tusk's party have until March 25 to cast their vote on who should be the party's presidential candidate.
The vote was organized after Tusk unexpectedly declined to offer his candidature.
It is not yet known if current incumbent Lech Kaczynski intends to put himself forward.
The election is due to take place between September 19 and October 3.
