In 1985 Ardanowski graduated from Bydgoszcz Academy of Technology and Agriculture with a Master of Engineering (magister inżynier) degree in Agriculture.[1] During his studies he was a member of the Independent Students' Association and was actively involved in democratic opposition to the communist rule activities.[2]
Ardanowski was elected in 2011 a member of the Sejm for the Sejm Constituency no. 5 as a Law and Justice candidate.[3] He was reelected in 2015,[4] 2019[5] and 2023[6] now serving his fourth term.
On 20 June 2018 he was appointed a Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development[7] in the First Cabinet of Mateusz Morawiecki. He remained in office in the Second Cabinet of Morawiecki until 6 October 2020.[8]
On 24 July 2024 he joined Kukiz'15's parliamentary circle, after having left the Law and Justice party a day earlier.[9]
Ardanowski subsequently founded the Freedom and Prosperity party which was formally registered on 19 September 2024.[10]
The party's stated aims are to become a big tent option for the right-wing, believing that the biggest right wing opposition party Law and Justice has lost its coalition-making abilities.[11]
