Early life

Kołodziejczak started working as a farmer after graduating from Kazimierz Jagiellończyk School in Sieradz.[2]

Political career

In 2014, Kołodziejczak was elected as a councilor of Błaszki, Łódź Voivodeship, but excluded from the party one year later due to organizing protests. In 2018, he established the Unia Warzywno-Ziemniaczana association, which organised protests of the agricultural community against the PiS government's policy on the fight against the African swine fever virus, and against low purchase prices of agricultural produce in the Łódź Voivodeship.[3] The same year on 7 December, Kołodziejczak registered the AGROunia Foundation.[4]

In June 2019, Kołodziejczak announced the establishment of the Prawda Political Party,[5] after which he announced that it would adopt the name Zgoda.[6] He did not become a member of the party and withdrew from the project in August 2019.[7]

In August 2023, Szymon Hołownia of Poland 2050 rejected the possibility of Kołodziejczak running together with RS Agrounia TAK in the parliamentary elections from the lists of the Trzecia Droga coalition.[8] Kołodziejczak ran as a member of the Civic Coalition instead.

Personal life

Kołodziejczak is married with one daughter.[9] On 25 January 2022, Citizen Lab reported that his mobile phone was under surveillance using Pegasus spy software.[10]
