Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski has become a presidential candidate of the Civic Coalition. This is reported by the X account of Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

As Tusk said on Saturday, November 23, Tshaskovsky became a presidential candidate from the Civic Coalition.

”22,126 voters, a great winner and a great loser, an exciting and authentic campaign. This is what our primaries were like. This is what democracy looks like,” Tusk wrote.

According to Polish media reports, the mayor of Warsaw received more than 74% of the vote in the primaries.

“We will again show that we are able to wake up the whole of Poland,” the newspaper quoted him as saying.

The voters chose between the mayor of Warsaw and the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Radoslaw Sikorski.

“I would like to thank everyone who took part in these primaries, this is our holiday. In PiS, every vote counts, and in our case, 22,000 people have made their decision, Trzaskowski emphasized.

The head of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Radoslaw Sikorski, called on all those who voted for him in the primaries to support the mayor of Warsaw, who won the primaries.

“I call on everyone who voted for me to unconditionally support Presidential candidate Rafał Trzaskowski,” Sikorski wrote.

The Civic Coalition’s elected presidential candidate will present his program in Silesia on December 7. Poland will hold its presidential election in May 2025.

Meanwhile, the main opposition party Law and Justice has already decided that it will support a nonpartisan candidate in the election.
