Andrzej Marian Olechowski (pronounced as /pl/; born 9 September 1947) is a Polish politician. He was one of the co-founders of liberal conservative party Civic Platform in 2001 with Maciej Płażyński and Donald Tusk. He served as Minister of Finance (1992) in the Jan Olszewski's Government[1] and Minister of Foreign Affairs (1993–1995) in the Waldemar Pawlak's Government.
Olechowski was an independent candidate in 2000 presidential election, coming second after incumbent Aleksander Kwaśniewski. In 2002, he was Civic Platform's candidate for president of Warsaw but failed to even get to the second round. Afterwards he began moving away from politics.
He left the Civic Platform in July 2009 and started co-operating with the Democratic Party.[2] He was one of the candidates in the 2010 Polish presidential election, but got only 1.44% of votes and didn't get into the second round.
