On 1 May 1949, he won the by-election for the Polish Senate, held in Krosno-constituency following the death of Senator Andrzej Mazurkiewicz. He was listed on the flight manifest of the Tupolev Tu-154 of the 36th Special Aviation Regiment carrying the President of Poland Lech Kaczyński which crashed near Smolensk-North airport near Pechersk near Smolensk, Russia, on 10 April 2010, killing all aboard. Zając was posthumously awarded the Commander's Cross with Star of the Order of the Polonia Restituta (2010).
