2025 Polish Presidential Election

The First round of the 2025 Polish Presidential Election, a surprisingly close result between Warsaw Mayor Rafal Traskowski and PiS supported independent/Conservative Historian Karol Nawrocki in a contest defined on the Axis of How closely Poland should be to the European Union.

With the prior Judicial Reforms by PiS being the contentious issue, the second round posed a contest between whether Prime Minister Donald Tusk's roleback of PiS' reforms would go forward, or if a Conservative Successor to Andrzej Duda would be able to keep them in place.

Beyond this, the controvercial Nature of Karol Kawrocki—a Polish Nationalist who endorsed a multitude of arch-conservative positions, such as opposing Civil unions/Gay Marriage, to being supported by Kirsty Noem and Hungarian Dictator Victor Orban

and has even been credibly accused of Neo-Nazi Ties brought an added Urgency to the election.

However, on the second Round, a surge of support brought forth by PiS in an attempt to prepare to seize back power in the 2027 polish election swampped the Warsaw Liberal Mayor Rafal Traskowski to give the presidency to the controvercial Karol Nawrocki

Swing Between Round 1 and Round of the Polish Presidential Election PiS candidate Karol Nawrocki improved most in the western portion of the country, but also improved among most of the old Prussian Territory, only falling behind in Warsaw and other Polish cities where some scandals of his, and Trzaskowski's Pro-EU liberalism played best.
