Party leaders competing in Poland's upcoming key parliamentary elections are holding their final campaign rallies in hopes of attracting new voters as opinion polls suggest a close race
Party leaders competing in Poland’s upcoming key parliamentary elections are holding their final campaign rallies Friday in hopes of attracting new voters as opinion polls suggest a close race. The election Sunday will decide whether the ruling conservative, Euro-skeptic Law and Justice party will win a third straight term or whether the liberal, pro-European Civic Coalition and its partners will take power seeking to improve Poland’s democratic standards and international standing.
Though his hometown is Warsaw, Kaczynski is running from the southern city of Kielce, where he can count on much larger backing than in the capital, where his archrival, Civic Coalition leader Donald Tusk is running. Voters in large cities have backed Tusk's party in recent votes. Tusk's final campaign rally is being held in Pruszkow, near Warsaw. Other parties are also closing their campaigns with a number of events across the country.
