Conservative historian Karol Nawrocki, who draws inspiration from Donald Trump, has won Poland’s presidential election, securing 50.89% of the votes while his opponent, Liberal pro-EU candidate Rafal Trzaskowski, secured 49.11%. Earlier, an exit poll had predicted a win for Trzaskowski. Nawrocki positioned himself as a defender of traditional Polish values, aligning with US conservatives, including Trump, and showing skepticism towards the EU. Meanwhile, Trzaskowski, 53, had promised to ease abortion restrictions, introduce civil partnerships for LGBT couples, and promote constructive ties with European partners. The vote was closely watched in neighboring Ukraine, Russia, the European Union, and the United States, and the final outcome will decide whether Poland leans towards more liberal norms or takes a more nationalist path. Poland’s new president will have significant influence over the country’s centrist government, due to the presidential power to veto laws. This runoff followed a tightly-contested first round of voting in May.
