Addressing his supporters, Nawrocki hailed his result, noting that there was just a “cosmetic difference” between himself, a political newcomer, and Trzaskowski, long viewed as the frontrunner.“I would like to thank the millions of Poles who voted for me,” he said during an election night event in Gdansk. “The millions of Poles who did not succumb to the pressure of propaganda, falsehood, lies.”

A far-right candidate, Sławomir Mentzen was projected to garner 14.9%, a strong result his Confederation party celebrated, while an extreme right-wing candidate, Grzegorz Braun, was predicted to win 6.4%, according to the exit poll.Exit polls have a small margin of error and the official vote count could differ somewhat, but they show the terrain ahead being challenging for Trzaskowski.Although Poland’s prime minister and parliament hold primary authority over domestic policy, the presidency carries substantial power, with a strong role in foreign and security policy and veto power over laws.

The conservative outgoing president, Andrzej Duda, has repeatedly used that power over more than the past year to hamper Tusk’s agenda.A Trzaskowski victory could be expected to end such a standoff.
