Irregularities reported in Polish election
Jun 08, 2025
Warsaw [Poland], June 8: Irregularities in the second round of Poland's presidential election have been reported, with candidates' results allegedly swapped in some commissions, sparking controversy.
The Polish elections, held on June 1, resulted in conservative Karol Nawrocki beating liberal Warsaw mayor Rafał Trzaskowski by a very close margin. Nawrocki won 50.89% of the vote against Trzaskowki's 49.11%.
Polish politicians, namely from Trzaskowski's camp, have been asking for the results to be investigated.
Chief among these those expressing concerns is Rafał Trzaskowski's chief of staff Wiola Paprocka, who wrote about the surprising reversal of support in the second round of the presidential election in some commissions.
"We will contact the PKW [National Electoral Comission] to clarify each of these cases," Paprocka announced on Twitter. Her statement included four polling stations at which reports of irregularities have come to light. Due to suspected irregularities, Paprocka appealed for electoral protests to be filed with the Supreme Court. (Agencies)
