| | Politics portal | Contract Sejm (Polish: Sejm kontraktowy) is a term commonly applied to the Polish Parliament elected in the Polish parliamentary elections of 1989. The contract refers to an agreement reached by the communist party and the Solidarity movement during the so-called Polish Round Table Agreement. The final agreement was signed on April 5, 1989. As a result, real political power was vested in a newly created bicameral legislature and in a president who would be the chief executive. Solidarność became a legitimate and legal political party.

Perhaps the most important decision reached during the talks was to allow for partially-free elections to be held in Poland. All seats to the newly-created Senate of Poland were to be elected democratically, as well as free election to 35% (161 mandates) of the seats in Sejm was assured. The remaining 65% of the seats were reserved for the communist party and its satellite parties. In addition, all 35 seats of the country-wide list were reserved for the party candidates provided they gained a certain quota of support. This was to ensure that the most notable leaders of the Party are elected.
The election of June 4, 1989 (and the second turn of June 18) brought a landslide victory to Solidarność: 99% of all the seats in the Senate and 35% of all possible seats in Sejm. Out of possible 100 seats in the Senate, 99 became occupied by the Solidarity and 1 by a non-partisan senator. Out of 35 seats of the country-wide list, only one was gained by the Party candidate (Adam Zieliński) and one by a ZSL satellite party candidate, while the remainder was taken by the Solidarity in the second run. Altogether, out of 161 seats eligible, the Solidarity took 160. June 4 is the 155th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (156th in leap years), with 210 days remaining. ...

The attendance was surprisingly low: only 62,7% in the first round and 25% in the second. It is to be noted, that the outcome was a major surprise to both the Party and Solidarity. Only a few days before June 4 the party Central Committee was discusing a possible reaction of the Western world should Solidarity not win a single vote. At the same time the Solidarity leaders were trying to prepare some set of rules for the non-party MPs in Communist-dominated parliament, as it was expected that the Solidarity would win not more than 20 seats. June 4 is the 155th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (156th in leap years), with 210 days remaining. ...
Although the elections were not entirely democratic, they paved the way for creation of Tadeusz Mazowiecki's cabinet and a peaceful transition to democracy, which was confirmed after the Polish parliamentary elections of 1991. Tadeusz Mazowiecki (born April 18, 1927 in Płock) is a Polish author, journalist, social worker and politician, formerly one of the leaders of the Solidarity movement, and the first non-communist prime minister in Central and Eastern Europe after World War II. Tadeusz Mazowiecki Tadeusz Mazowiecki Shortly after World War...
