As Poland heads to the polls to elect its next president, incumbent Andrzej Duda faces a hotly contested race against a Civic Platform candidate and an independent backed by the opposition. The president has the power to veto legislation and influence military and foreign policy. With major issues like the Russia-Ukraine war and economic concerns at the forefront, recent foreign election interference reports have heightened voter anxiety. Eligible voters will choose from registered candidates, with a potential second round of voting on June 1 if no candidate secures a majority in the first round.
Poland prepares for a competitive presidential election with two main candidates: one from the ruling Civic Coalition and an independent backed by the PiS opposition.
The President of Poland holds sway over foreign policy and military decisions, having significant influence despite a parliamentary system where the prime minister holds most power.
