National-Conservative Karol Nawrocki wins Polish presidential elections after neck-and-neck race

Karol Nawrocki has won Sunday’s Polish presidential elections. That reports the Polish election committee Monday morning. The National-Conservative Nawrocki received 50.89 percent of the votes. His center-liberal competitor Rafal Trakowski 49.11 percent.

Nawrocki of the political party PIS is substantively opposed to the center-liberal government party Ko Donald Tusk. He is expected to veto intended reforms from the Tusk government. Trzaskowski, party member of Tusk, had said in the run -up to the elections that he wanted to cooperate in his reforms with the aim of restoring the rule of law.

The counting of the votes loved one from one Nek-to-neck race. Trakowski took the lead at the first ExitPoll on Sunday evening, on which he already called out the victory. A few hours later, Nawrocki was in the lead. It seemed that the winner would only win a difference with a few tens of thousands of votes, with a rise of more than 20 million Poles. In the end, Nawrocki won a difference with more than 350,000 votes.
