Just as his party received a massive defeat in the September 2005 Parliamentary elections, Borowski lost the presidential elections, receiving 10% of the vote and fourth place, despite Aleksander Kwaśniewski's support following the withdrawal of Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz.{{Cite web |title=Borowski wyklucza możliwość spotkania Tuska z Zełenskim na granicy.
