US EditionPoles Begin Voting for a New President in a Pivotal Runoff Election
- Poles began voting on June 1, 2025, in a decisive presidential runoff between Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski and historian Karol Nawrocki.
- The runoff follows a tight first round on May 18, where Trzaskowski led with just over 31% and Nawrocki narrowly trailed with nearly 30%.
- The candidates sharply differ on Poland’s EU relations, social reforms, and Ukraine policy, with Trzaskowski supporting progressive changes and EU integration, while Nawrocki backs traditional values and more sovereignty.
- Exit polls are expected at 9 p.m. Local time, with election officials predicting final results by Monday, as many view the contest as a clash shaping Poland’s political future and social policies.
- The election’s result will shape whether Poland stays on a nationalist trajectory under Nawrocki or moves toward reinforcing liberal democratic principles aligned with the centrist administration headed by Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
