Professional-EU candidate Rafał Trzaskowski was inching in direction of profitable Poland’s presidential run-off vote on Sunday after exit polls gave him a razor-thin lead over his rightwing opponent.
An Ipsos exit ballot confirmed Trzaskowski, the Warsaw mayor representing Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s centre-right Civic Platform occasion, profitable 50.3 per cent of votes towards 49.7 per cent for Karol Nawrocki, a historian standing for the nationalist opposition Regulation and Justice (PiS) occasion.
The end result of the run-off, if confirmed by ultimate outcomes, would permit Tusk to proceed along with his reform agenda. However it might deal one other blow to Donald Trump’s Maga motion overseas, following election defeats for rightwing politicians aligned with the US president in Canada, Australia and Romania.
The electoral fee says it hopes ultimate outcomes will likely be introduced on Monday morning or early afternoon.
