The Polish presidential election is entering a critical phase as Rafal Trzaskowski of the Civic Coalition, currently leading with 30.8% of votes, faces off against nationalist candidate Karol Nawrocki, with 29.1%. Set for June 1, the election highlights Poland’s foreign policy stance amid security concerns stemming from the Ukraine conflict. The outcome will shape Poland’s trajectory, particularly with Trzaskowski poised to reverse judicial reforms by the ruling Law and Justice party if elected, while a Nawrocki victory would likely perpetuate the status quo under PiS influence.
The campaign has largely revolved around foreign policy at a time of heightened security concerns in Poland, a key member of NATO and the European Union.
If confirmed, the result would mean the two will go head-to-head in a run-off vote on June 1, marking a pivotal moment for Polish politics.
