The outcome of the Polish presidential run-off will have profound implications not only for domestic policy but also for Poland’s international standing within the European Union. Incumbent President Andrzej Duda, who secured the largest share of the vote in the first round, is facing a challenge from Rafał Trzaskowski, representing the Civic Platform party and the broader opposition. 1st-round results showed Duda with a lead, but Trzaskowski consolidated support from smaller opposition candidates eliminated earlier. The race hinges on mobilizing their base for the second round. 2nd-round vote turnout will be crucial, as both campaigns are actively trying to ensure their supporters go to polls.
