Poland's Presidential Election: Centrist Trzaskowski Gains Narrow Lead in First Round
ai generated text
Poland's presidential election has entered its second round, with centrist Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski and nationalist historian Karol Nawrocki vying for the top spot. The first round saw a close contest, with Trzaskowski and Nawrocki securing approximately 30% of the vote each. The two will face off in a runoff vote on June 1, with the outcome determining whether Poland remains committed to its pro-European path or leans towards a more nationalist stance.
With Nawrocki as president, the government would be paralysed and that could eventually lead to the fall of the ruling coalition.
With this many candidates and 2 percentage point margins of error, there is still scope for the picture to change either way.
