US EditionPoland Elects Euroskeptic Karol Nawrocki in Narrow Presidential Runoff
- Karol Nawrocki, a 42-year-old conservative nationalist backed by Donald Trump, won Poland's presidential runoff held on June 1, 2025.
- The election followed a tight contest between Nawrocki, supported by the Law and Justice party, and liberal Rafal Trzaskowski, Warsaw's pro-EU mayor backed by Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
- Nawrocki’s campaign faced controversies including his past as a football hooligan and disputed real estate dealings, while high voter turnout above 54% reflected deep political divisions.
- The National Election Commission confirmed Nawrocki’s narrow official victory with 50.89% against Trzaskowski’s 49.11%, and Nawrocki proclaimed, "We will win and we will save Poland."
- Nawrocki's win challenges the pro-EU government, likely stalling progressive reforms and potentially causing political deadlock or new parliamentary elections if tensions persist.
