Karol Nawrocki Elected President of Poland After Tight Race
Karol Nawrocki, a 42-year-old conservative historian and former boxer, has been elected as the next President of Poland, securing 50.89% of the vote in a tightly contested election against liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski. Backed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, Nawrocki is expected to steer Poland towards a more nationalist and traditionalist policy path. He will succeed Andrzej Duda, whose term ends on August 6, 2025.
Poland held its presidential elections, and Karol Nawrocki narrowly defeated Rafal Trzaskowski. Nawrocki is backed by Donald Trump and the Law and Justice Party (PiS). He will take over from President Andrzej Duda, marking a continuity of conservative governance with a new face.
