Power Destroyed
The power and coherence of the Delegatura was destroyed when Stalin manipulated its sacked leader Stanislaw Mikolayczk, the leader of the powerful People's Party, into joining the PKWN. This led to the creation on 28 June 1945 of a new Provisional Government of National Unity, Tymczasowy Rzad Jednosci Narodowej, TRJN, which was eventually recognized by the Western Allies as the new government of Poland. It consisted of the PPR, the Polish Socialist Party, the Polish People's Party, the Stronnictwo Ludowe and the Democratic Party. The PPR and communists from other smaller parties controlled the direction of the new government policies by controlling seventeen out of twenty one ministries.
