Abstract
The significant change of the principles and manner of electing the execu¬tive body of the local government in its basic organizational units introduced in 2002 opened another chapter of development of the Polish local govern¬ment. The principle of electing the village mayor (mayor, president of the city) by the commune/city council was cancelled. It was established that this body would be elected directly, by the commune dwellers. Since 2002, town mayors in Poland have been elected in direct elections every four years. The next elections were bringing the renewed victory of presidents-in-office in many cities. They are named „everlasting mayors” (multi-term mayors). While defining the territorial scope of the empirical research I chose three of the biggest cities in Poland: Cracow, Gdansk and Wroclaw. The course of campaigns connected with the election of presidents of these cities displays particularly interesting aspects of the position and the difficulties in fulfillment of tasks assigned to the presidents after 2002 in Poland under modernization. The article is an attempt to show the specificity mayor of Polish city who is in term of office for at least three times. My research objec¬tive was to analyze the events and circumstances which determined the posi¬tion of the commune executive body and conduced to re-election.
