The next two weeks will "decide the future of Poland", its prime minister, Donald Tusk, said yesterday, as the country prepared for a presidential runoff vote on 1 June after a nail-bitingly close first round.

Official results showed the pro-European centrist Rafał Trzaskowski, the mayor of Warsaw and the candidate from Tusk's Civic Coalition, received 31.36% of the votes. Karol Nawrocki, backed by the populist rightwing Law and Justice party (PiS), took 29.54% of the vote.

Trzaskowski had long been seen as the frontrunner, whose election would allow Poland to end the months-long standoff between the centrist-led parliament and populist right presidency.

Tusk and his coalition took power in 2023 promising to reverse the erosion of democratic checks and balances that had marked the PiS's eight years in government.
