In the local elections of 2010, he became a councilor of the Masovian Voivodeship Sejmik on behalf of PiS. He was also appointed mayor of the Praga-Northc district, but ultimately he did not take up this position.
In 2011, he became the candidate of Law and Justice in the parliamentary elections in the Warsaw district and obtained a parliamentary mandate, receiving 29,134 votes. In 2014, he was the candidate of Law and Justice in the 2014 Polish local elections for the office of the mayor of Warsaw, losing in the second round of voting to Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz.
Sasin had served deputy prime minister (from June 2019 to 2023) and the minister for state assets (from November 2019).[1] In the Sejm, he was the chairman of the Public Finance Committee.

See main article: 2020 Polish presidential election. On May 10, 2020, Sasin allocated PLN 68,896,820 for the Polish presidential election,[3] which did not take place.[4] The minister gave orders to print the ballot papers without any procedure or any legal basis, and ultimately lost them.
