Poland will hold a presidential runoff election on June 1, in which a right-wing historian will face off against the liberal mayor of the nation’s capital, in a race that will be closely watched both within and beyond the country’s borders.
The vote follows the first round, held on May 18, in which Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski came first with 31.36 percent of the vote, while academic Karol Nawrocki finished a close second with 29.54 percent.
