Poland’s national conservative leader, Karol Nawrocki, has won the presidency of Poland according to election results on Monday. In a narrow race, Nawrocki defeated Rafal Trzaskowski of the left-wing Civic Platform Party to become the country’s new head of state.
The president-elect had been endorsed by President Donald Trump.
In Poland’s parliamentary system, the president has the ability to veto legislation from the Sejm, Poland’s lower house of its Parliament (which in turn can be overturned by a three-fifths majority vote). He also serves as the commander in chief of the nation’s armed forces.
However, he does not set much of the governing agenda for the country. The prime minister is the head of government, who runs Poland’s Cabinet, and is confirmed by a vote of the Sejm, which means he is typically the leader of the preeminent party of Poland’s parliament.
If the past is any indication, Nawrocki may be on a collision course with Poland’s current prime minister, Donald Tusk, who has made greater integration with Europe a cornerstone of his foreign policy.
