Polish presidential election - what we know

- Rafal Trzaskowski is the liberal mayor of Warsaw, a representative of the ruling coalition "Civic Platform", a supporter of European integration, judicial system reforms, and support for LGBT+ rights.
- Karol Nawrocki is a conservative historian supported by the opposition Law and Justice party, who advocates traditional values, limiting the influence of the EU, and a cautious policy towards Ukraine's accession to NATO.
According to exit polls, both candidates had almost equal chances of winning. Initial data gave Trzaskowski 50,3% of the vote, and Nawrocki 49,7%. However, later polls showed a change in the lead: Nawrocki received 51%, and Trzaskowski 49%.
