Poland's Presidential Election: Reform's Fate Hangs in Balance | JQJO

Poland's presidential election on Sunday will determine whether the ruling coalition's stalled reform agenda can advance. Incumbent President Andrzej Duda's veto power has hampered progress on key issues like rule of law and LGBTQ+ rights. The two frontrunners are Rafal Trzaskowski, backed by the current government, and Karol Nawrocki, supported by the opposition. The outcome hinges on voter turnout and the second-round choices of voters for other candidates, particularly the strong showing of far-right candidate Slawomir Mentzen.
