Presidential elections will be held in Poland on 4, 11, or 18 May 2025, though they can be held earlier should the office become vacated as a result of death, resignation or removal from office of the incumbent. Due to constitutional term limits limiting a president to serve only two terms, incumbent president Andrzej Duda is ineligible for re-election. Presidential elections in Poland must take place on a day free from work (Sunday or a holiday) between 75 and 100 days before the term ends.
Electoral system
[edit]The president is elected for a five-year term using the two-round system; if no candidate receives a majority of the vote in the first round, a run-off is held between the top two candidates. Presidents serve a five-year term and can be re-elected once. The second term of Andrzej Duda expires on 6 August 2025, and the president-elect will take the oath of office on that day, before the National Assembly (a joint session of Sejm and Senate).
Background
[edit]Since December 2023 as a result of the 2023 Polish parliamentary election, Donald Tusk's cabinet, comprising of Civic Coalition, Poland 2050, the Polish People's Party, and the New Left, has been governing the country. Tusk's coalition does not have enough votes to bypass the presidential veto, for which it would need 276 votes.[1]

Campaign
[edit]First round
[edit]Sławomir Mentzen was the first candidate to begin an electoral campaign on 31 August 2024, drawing criticism and accusations of illegality from politicians of other parties for its early start.[17] Marshal of the Sejm Szymon Hołownia from the Poland 2050 party declared his candidacy on 13 November.[18] The Civic Coalition selected its candidate in a presidential primary on 22 November after Minister of Foreign Affairs Radosław Sikorski challenged presumptive nominee, Mayor of Warsaw Rafał Trzaskowski, who was the Civic Coalition's 2020 presidential candidate.[19] Following the Civic Coalition primary, Institute of National Remembrance chairman Karol Nawrocki was endorsed by the Law and Justice party on 24 November as an officially independent candidate, as he never belonged to any political party.[20] Speculation swiftly began on whether PiS would replace Nawrocki when it was revealed that he had contact with a future criminal as part of his time as a boxer two decades prior, for which he was constantly attacked by opposing politicians.[21] Polling showed, however, that the vast plurality of people did not expect Nawrocki to be replaced.[22]
Second round
[edit]The second round of the election is, according to polls, expected to be contested by Nawrocki and Trzaskowski.
