Populist Karol Nawrocki, who is also President Donald Trump's preferred candidate, has won Poland's presidential election with a narrow lead of 50.89 percent, according to the final vote tally.
Why It Matters
Right-wing parties in Europe experienced a surge in support over the past couple years, starting with Geert Wilders's victory in the 2023 Dutch parliamentary election, and accelerated by major gains in the 2024 European parliamentary elections.
Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election marked a major advance for right-wing groups, which have grown emboldened and have sought to once again borrow from Trump's playbook to secure further victories, including policies and ideological lines.

The president and prime minister must work together to pass legislation, making their alignment key.
