Conservative Nawrocki Wins Polish Presidential Election in Major Upset Against Globalist Warsaw Mayor
2025-06-03
[Breitbart] Political newcomer Karol Nawrocki has pulled off a stunning come-from-behind victory in the Polish presidential elections on Sunday, defeating neo-liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski of Prime Minsiter Donald Tusk’s globalist Civic Platform party.

UPDATE 0500: According to Gazeta Wyborcza, Law and Justice (PiS) party candidate Karol Nawrocki will become the next president of Poland after winning 50.89 per cent of the vote, with a total of 10,606,628 votes. In comparison, the progressive mayor of Warsaw Rafał Trzaskowski won 49.11 per cent, with 10,237,177 votes. The paper reported that turnout in the hotly contested election stood at 71.6 per cent.

UPDATE 0145: A third exit poll from Ipsos covering 90 per cent of voting areas has projected conservative PiS candidate Karol Nawrocki to secure 51 per cent, §]ping liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski at 49 per cent, with a margin of error of 0.5 per cent for both candidates.

UPDATE 2245: A "late" exit poll has seen the projected results flip, although the race is still too close to call. The Ipsos exit poll conducted for broadcaster TVN projected that PiS conservative candidate Karol Nawrocki won 50.7 per cent of the vote, compared to 49.3 per cent for his liberal Civic Platform rival Rafał Trzaskowski. This reversed the initial exit poll, which gave Trzaskowski a 0.6 per cent lead.

UPDATE 2200: While the race is still too close to call, the votes from the Polish diaspora community in the United States have been fully counted. According to Gazeta Wyborcza, PiS conservative candidate Karol Nawrocki won 28,070 votes in America, or 56.65 per cent, compared to 21,479 votes, or 43.35 per cent, for liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski.
