US EditionPro-EU Candidate Takes Narrow Lead in Polish Presidential Election, Exit Poll Says
- On June 1, 2025, Poland held a presidential election runoff in Warsaw featuring liberal pro-EU mayor Rafal Trzaskowski and conservative historian Karol Nawrocki.
- The election followed a May 18 first round where Trzaskowski led with 31.1 percent and Nawrocki had 29.5 percent, amid a 67.3 percent turnout and strong polarization.
- Trzaskowski pledged judicial reforms and closer EU ties, while Nawrocki promoted nationalist conservative values, inspired by Donald Trump's MAGA movement and backed by the Law and Justice party.
- Ipsos exit polls indicated that Trzaskowski holds a slim lead with 50.3 percent compared to Nawrocki's 49.7 percent, though this result is subject to a possible variation of two percentage points either way.
- The final results may shift, but a Trzaskowski win would support Poland's pro-European course, while a Nawrocki victory could heighten conflicts with the EU and alter alliances.
