The 2025 Polish presidential election is shaping up to be a pivotal moment in the country’s political landscape. With incumbent President Andrzej Duda stepping down due to term limits, voters are set to choose his successor in a highly contested race. The election follows a two-round system, meaning if no candidate secures more than 50% of the vote in today’s first round, a runoff will take place on June 1.
This election comes at a time of significant political and social change in Poland. Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s pro-European government has been working to reverse judicial reforms enacted by the previous administration, but the new president will have the power to veto legislation, potentially shaping Poland’s future direction. Key issues dominating the campaign include Poland’s relationship with the European Union, the ongoing war in Ukraine, economic concerns, and social policies such as abortion rights.
With 29 million eligible voters casting their ballots today, the outcome will determine whether Poland continues on its current path or shifts toward a more nationalist stance. Stay tuned as we bring you live updates on the results, reactions, and what this election means for Poland’s future.
