Since April 2004 he has been the leader, and since May 2004 the chairman, of a new Polish left-wing party called Socjaldemokracja Polska (Polish Social Democracy), formed from a break-away group of SLD. He's now a candidate in the presidential elections.

Marek Borowski is an MP from Piła, but in the September 2005 parliamentary elections he contested a seat in Warsaw. Borowski was the Social Democratic presidential candidate in the 2005 Polish presidential elections. 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.
