The lower house, the Sejm, will start its session at noon, while the upper house of the country’s bicameral legislature, the Senate, will begin its first session at 4 p.m., the president's office has announced.
Duda's office said last week that lawmaker Marek Sawicki, a former agriculture minister, would open the inaugural session of the lower house, while conservative senator Michał Seweryński would open the first sitting of the new Senate.

Poles elected a new set of 460 MPs and 100 senators when they went to the ballot box last month.
Poland's pro-European opposition groups on Friday signed an agreement to form a coalition government following last month's elections, pledging to restore the rule of law, promote green energy and relax abortion rules, among other policies.
The Polish president said at the start of last week that he would entrust the mission of forming a new government to conservative Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
Morawiecki's ruling conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party won Poland's October 15 election, but failed to secure a parliamentary majority, increasing the likelihood of an opposition government.
