Overview

  • Trzaskowski secured 50.3% of the vote to Nawrocki’s 49.7% in the June 1 runoff, with the National Electoral Commission confirming the result on June 2.
  • Voter participation hit a record 72.8%, underscoring deep engagement in a sharply polarized contest.
  • His victory is set to lift presidential vetoes that Andrzej Duda used to block Prime Minister Tusk’s judicial overhaul, abortion liberalization and civil partnership proposals.
  • Trzaskowski’s pro-European platform promises to strengthen ties with Brussels and sustain Poland’s support for Ukraine against Russian aggression.
  • Nawrocki, backed by the Law and Justice party, ran on nationalist and anti-immigration policies but faced scrutiny over an alleged questionable apartment deal.
