Poland's Supreme Court Upholds Nawrocki's Presidential Election Win


(MENAFN) Poland's Supreme Court affirmed on Tuesday that Karol Nawrocki won the presidential election in June.

"All of the circumstances clearly demonstrate that Karol Tadeusz Nawrocki garnered more votes than Rafal Kazimierz Trzaskowski during the second round of the vote," stated Krzysztof Wiak, head of the Supreme Court chamber.

Nawrocki, an independent candidate supported by the opposition Law and Justice Party, secured 50.89 percent of the vote in the presidential runoff, surpassing Trzaskowski, the candidate of the ruling Civic Coalition and mayor of Warsaw, who earned 49.11 percent.

As stipulated by the Polish constitution, the Supreme Court must validate the election results before the president-elect can be sworn into office in a joint session of parliament. Nawrocki is set to take office as president after the term of the current president, Andrzej Duda, concludes on August 6.
