Polish Presidential Election Results: Conservative Candidate Nawrocki Wins | WPN World People News

The results of Poland’s presidential runoff were announced on June 2nd, with conservative nationalist candidate **Nawrocki** narrowly winning the election with **50.89% of the vote**. His victory signals a possible strengthening of Poland’s ties with the Trump administration and a shift toward nationalist policies, posing a challenge to pro-EU forces.

At 42 years old, Nawrocki had trailed Civic Coalition candidate **Zosaszkowski** in the first round of voting on May 18th, but managed a comeback in the runoff. Zosaszkowski ultimately lost with **49.11% of the vote**.

Nawrocki’s campaign focused on themes of patriotism, traditional Catholic values, and a strong defense of Polish sovereignty against the influence of major EU member states. His win is expected to energize right-wing populist movements across Europe and could impact Poland’s military cooperation with the United States. Some members of parliament have accused the Trump administration of interfering in the election.

While Nawrocki has pledged continued support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia, he has also criticized the government’s welfare policies for Ukrainian refugees, insisting that social benefits should primarily support Polish citizens.

Nawrocki is expected to continue the conservative policies of outgoing President Andrzej Duda, including opposition to abortion legalization and controversial judicial reforms. He will take office on **August 6**, and his presidency may strain Poland’s relationship with the European Union while further aligning the country with the Trump administration.

European Commission President **Ursula von der Leyen** and Ukrainian President **Volodymyr Zelensky** expressed hope for continued cooperation with Poland, while nationalist leaders such as Hungarian Prime Minister **Viktor Orbán** congratulated Nawrocki on his victory.
