Polish Voters Decide Mayoral Runoffs in Key Local Elections

The runoff elections across Poland serve as a significant indicator for Prime Minister Donald Tusk's pro-EU government.

Voters in Poland cast ballots to elect mayors in 748 locales where no candidate secured a majority in the initial round.
The elections are seen as a crucial test for the Civic Coalition, led by Tusk, which has strong urban support.
The opposing Law and Justice party, with its rural base, previously led the national government and performed well in provincial assemblies.
Tusk's party achieved notable victories in major cities like Warsaw but did not secure an overall decisive win.
The outcome of these elections could influence the political landscape ahead of national elections.
