The victory of conservative Karol Nawrocki’s victory in Poland’s weekend presidential runoff is likely to cause further division and political instability between the centrist government and the new president, according to analysts and citizens alike.
Nawrocki, who was backed by the right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party at home and endorsed by US President Donald Trump, won 50.89% of votes in Sunday's race against Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski, who received 49.11%, according to election commission data published on Monday.
