IDENTICAL twins who once starred together in a children's film look set to hold the two most powerful posts in Polish politics.
President Lech Kaczynski has nominated his brother Jaroslaw, leader of the ruling Law and Justice Party, to replace prime minister Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz, who resigned yesterday. With no other candidates for the post, it is a foregone conclusion that one twin will soon swear in the other.
Mr Marcinkiewicz's resignation follows clashes with Jarolsaw Kaczynski over recent ministerial appointments.
The twins, 57, first shot to recognition as child stars in the 1960s film The Two Who Stole the Moon. They started their political careers as activists in the Solidarity trade union.
In spite of their success both Jaroslaw, who is unmarried and lives with his mother, and Lech, remain sensitive about their appearance and are rarely seen in public together
