Rivals Neck-and-Neck Ahead of Poland's 'Clash of Civilisations' Vote

Centrist Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski and right-leaning Karol Nawrocki held their final campaign day on May 30 ahead of Poland's presidential runoff vote on Sunday.
This runoff follows a narrow first round on May 18, where Trzaskowski won with 31 percent and Nawrocki received 30 percent amid strong far-right support.
The election is framed as a 'clash of civilisations' with major policy differences including abortion rights, LGBTQ issues, and Poland’s stance on Ukraine and NATO membership.
Opinion polls indicate a tight contest between Trzaskowski, with 50.6 percent, and Nawrocki, with 49.4 percent, a difference within the margin of error, making it possible that the final outcome will only be confirmed the day after the vote.
A Trzaskowski victory would boost Poland’s government and could lead to liberal reforms, while a Nawrocki win might undercut support for Ukraine and trigger new parliamentary elections.
